I have an LT4 out of a '96 Firehawk, I've upgraded the stock cam to the LT4 HOT cam, bored .030, 11.5-1 pistons, and very minor porting on the heads and intake. There's 23k miles on the engine, so I know it's not tired. I just don't know what type of numbers I should be running, and I just wanted to get an idea of where those mods should put me.

Thanks

Depending on the weight of the car you can see low 12's all day long. Maybe better.

He has no suspension work . With some LCA relocation brackets, slicks or drag radials, shorter torque arm, and drag springs, he'll be hitting mid 11's consistently. I saw a guy at the track yesterday with a 90 RS who threw in a lt1 (although carbed), he had no work done to it other than headers and exhaust and he was running 12.8-12.9 consistently with slicks on a auto, he had mostly suspension work, all that I listed above (except a aftermarket torque arm) and sub frame connectors. Traction makes all the difference.
