nitrous plus bolt-ons =12's?

I was just wondering if a L98 with typical bolt-ons (exhaust, intake, etc.) and a 100 shot of nitrous would be good enough to get into the 12's?

Obviously there are a lot of variables like suspension, tires, etc. but is it reasonable to expect 12's with bolt ons and a 100 shot?

So your asking if you would be making enough power to send a 3rdgen to 12's assuming good weather suspension tires driver etc? Yes that shouldnt be much of a problem.

With my little 305 and a 50hp shot I am at 13.5-13.6.
Once I do a 100hp shot, I hope to be in the 12's.

I dont see why basic bolt ons and a 100 shot wouldnt put you into the 12's if not u will be very close

I don't know. If by "ect." on the bolt-ons you mean good tires, 3.73 posi rear, and slight weight reductions, I'd say yes. If you mean a K&N air filter and a 160* thermostat I say no.

Thanks for the replies everyone! It sounds like the concensus is "yes, it's doable". I think I'm going to buying a 3rd gen soon!
