How many other 14.0X or faster LB9's?

87 Z28, LB9, A4, 2.73 posi, TES headers, Dyno Max 2.5 catback, LT1 cam, ported intake, ported runners, ported plenum, LCA, panhard, drag shocks, BFG dragradials @ 28psi, no a/c, no cat, no smog pump, AFPR set to 43 psi, and timing at 11*advanced.
I ran, a 14.052@96.34mph!!! And for all the nonbelivers here is the rest of the time slip, 60'1.98, 330' 5.885, 1/8 9.004@78.23, and 1000' 11.764. Ok get back in staging sit for an hour 3rd run of the day, 14.032@96.52!!!! 1.96 60', 5.863 330', 9.008@78.62, and 1000'11.756. I also ran 3 more 14.2x@95.xx mph. Nothing on my car has costed me over $200 to buy and install. Air temp 82* Rh 40 something %. All I need is some cold air next month and another N/A 305 in the 13's. Well into the 13's with gears and stall. YES!
What is everyone else running for a set up to run 14.0x or better, N/A only please. I'll spray into the 12's or better next year. I was going to spray into the 13's this year, but I knew I could do it N/A. I dont know if an after market base and runners will help, but I'm sure a good set of heads would work nicely.

Not difficult to believe. I ran 14.5 @ 96 with a really poorly running engine(bad rings) and a 2.3 60 foot time in 90 degrees with h rated tires With a 1.96 short time like that I'd have been in the 13s easily.

Why even spray? Just to say you ran 12s? I still don't understand that.
