    Mine with a K&N CAI, Edelbrock 50 state legal shorties, true duals, and street tires went 13.1 @ 104.5... not bad IMO. Not to mention the tune was off because the tuner said he couldn't get the car to run on his tune.

And 350z/G35's are slow/heavy IMO, I used to spank those in my SRT-PT(PT Cruiser W/SRT-4 motor) along with mustangs, but at least GT's would usually give me a run for my money.....
    I didn't say anything about horsepower. Y'all were talking about the torque of a 5.0 being beastly, when the torque of a LT1 is even better.

    when was this? the last thread u had up, in 1/4 slips at least, you said you were running high 13s. its hard to believe a 13.1 out of an lt1 on street tires. sorry for being skeptical.

    Guess you never saw the thread, I'll dig it up. I have a pic of the slip as well.
