    Heads and cam LT1's with stock bottom end and a good tire could do it. Maybe a factory freak thats completely gutted with a good tire with a 50mph wind on a track that goes down hill could that happen. Most cam only lt1's cant get out of the 13's. More common for an ls1 car to touch 11's cam only.

    I've also heard of a few LT1's in 11's with bolt-ons. Some in high 10's with giggle juice at about 150 shot.

    Take a look arounf on www.ltxtech.com You'll find your answers there.

    That would not be a cam only setup. that would be a cam and nitrous setup.

    Your take?
    Absolutely.

    2800lb raceweights do wonderous things.

    MANY around here? NOPE. A good number around here? NOPE.

    But the guys that stick with the combination and get the cars down light enough can absolutely do it. But they aren't your normal everyday cars.

    Factory weight for both LS1 and/or LT1, no way

    Hey If I know how to fix it, might as well keep it, right?

    Of course you know how to fix it because the damn thing is always in need of being fixed.

    LOL, you guys haven't been around camaroZ28.com have you? Its not that hard to get a cam only LT1 into the 11's. I had a M6 95 Z28 a few years ago. It made 366rwhp 368 rwtq with full bolt ons and a CC306. It was a full weight car except for the front sway bar, jack and spair tire. On the stock 3.42 rear and 6 speed my best was a 12.3@114. I've had a few traps in the low 115's before. All of that on a 1.92 60." With gears it was a 11 sec car easily.

    And get this, the motor had 200k on it. My uncle was the original owner so i know the motor was all stock. People just don't know how to set up cars properly. A bolt on lt1 should run high 12's. Min ran 13.1@107.

    as much as i agree with what you say here,i also disagree. are we talking about cam only,or cam and bolt ons.i think it would be tough to run 11s without some other supporting mods,especially if the car in question is an automatic.

    When people say "cam only," 99% of the time there are refering to stock heads and lower end. It includes bolt on stuff like headers, cold air intake... It would be pretty stupid to put a cam in a car with stock exhaust manifolds.

    Cam only LS1??? There are cam only LS cars making 400rwhp. Not too hard to run 11's with that kind of power. Like i said it takes some time to set everything up but its not that hard. Hell my car had power leather seats even. Race weight around 3600-3700 lbs.
