What do you run in the quarter or against others after your swap?

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.
