Just wanted to see what everyone was running or running with? Thinking of doing the swap over building a 350.

LS1+3rdgen=12's.
In fact when these swaps started I remember none of them even started in the 13's, they were all in the 12's out of the gate.
I think I respectfully requested to skip the 12's as well.

Best so far was 12.1 @ 112mph
bad pass though i haven't had the best luck at the track getting everything out of my car. I've trapped as high as 119 which is enough for mid 11's but on those passes I blew the tires off. On the days when I actually hooked I had shifting issues with my 6 gear. I do have the car cutting consistent 1.6x 60's now so if I could get my hydraulics working again I know I;d have an 11 something to brag about but until I drop the trans and change the slave I dont think thats going to happen
TR224 cam fwiw and 3.73 gears which are not best for the 1/4 with this set up

Re: What do you run in the quarter or against others after your swap?
I'm hoping for mid-12s with an absolutely BONE-stock engine (though in all fairness, it's a 6.2 rather than a 5.7). 
Here's how I'm looking at it - the new Camaros have been proven to run 12.95 or so, right off the showroom floor. I'll have basically the same drivetrain, & quite a bit less weight (shooting for about 650 lbs less), so knocking off about 1/2 a second doesn't seem too unreasonable to me...

Thanks for letting me know. This is exactly what i was hoping for. So much quicker than a built 350 tbi, and with hardly no mods.
