Bone stock engine and drivetrain. Headers and a LEP tune with a Maggie TVS1900. It will run faster yet!

Easily possible. My Trans Am went 11.13 @ 122 stock LS1 bolt ons and a 150 shot. Not even a tune.
Hey Art maybe your next thread should be 'what is stock' ... lol.

I can vouch that this goat has a stock motor down to the valvesprings...at most it has plugs. If anyone is willing to put their money where their mouth is bet garth the labor costs to rip it apart in front of u...a well setup car with a good tune can go very far...

I don't think anyone is doubting that the car has a stock long block, I think the disagreement comes from saying that a car with a blower on it has a "stock motor".
Then again, I always thought it was a bit odd to call a car with full bolt-ons "cam only" as many Fbody guys do.
Stock long block + Power adder =/= Stock motor.

When he either joins me on the 255/50/16 Sportsman S/T, or I buy axles/driveshaft and get some real tires.

Running 11.49 out here in Vegas with a stock longblock is pretty impressive for sure. Running those numbers with a stock 4L65E and stock trans is more impressive. Congrats Rick.

good question, I am not sure. Girl just had our baby two weeks ago and also just bought a new home a few days ago. So maybe if we get 8k tax thing for buying a new home some people might se me sooner than later, who knows though. Car turns on and all and drives, just can't get my tranny to go into 3rd or 4th lol.
now n days i am just going to take my time with the goat though I don't want to drop a tone of money into right now like i have in the past. i gonna use the money to take care of my new boy and buy things for the new house.
some might think my car will never run again but its just a matter of when do I want to buy or spend money on tranny.
I guess I am no rush cause at the end of the day with it having overheating issues/ runninng lean ass hell / and having blown my tranny before I got a pass at the track when those other issues were solved i still got one of the badest m****F*****in goats in lv and in the gto community in large. Plus no one in vegas with a goat has ran faster than my 11.0s to motivate me to get a tranny, there close but yet so far.

No, think fryburner has the fastest right now. In 2010 that is.
