Fastest Lb9 with 2.73's

I'm just wondering how far can 2.73's go in an Lb9 car. I would love to get gears for my car, but I want to get hp right now. I'm getting an LT1 intake and headers very soon. That sould get me a nice boost. I can spin the tires from a dead stop.

So who has/had the fastest LB9/2.73 car?

I'm probably the fastest, I dunno if i'd still be considered an LB9 anymore... but my heads/plenum/runners/intake and injectors are all stock. there could be someone faster but I dont think they post on these boards

Honestly I have no idea why I said that, I was taking a break from working outside this afternoon. So maybe that's dehydration and tiredness kicking in, I don't know.

2.73s = more top speed, 3.23s = better accel.

Higher the number numerically and the lower the top speed will be
