It'll be a little while be for my car is track legal, so I decided I couldn't miss the good weather and did a few things to my Wife's LT1 to see if I can best the 12.30 @ 116 that I ran at DH10.
Knowing there should be more in it, but it is still on stock suspension and a 10 bolt, I really wouldn't be able to launch it the way it NEEDS to be launched, So my goal was an 11.99 for Sunday.
I was able to meet my goal on the first pass launching off idle on DR's :metal:
Here's the slips in order (the first 3 were on MT DR's, the last 2 on ET Drags):

I was expecting the car to pick up 2 or 3 MPH from the DH event, but I damn sure wasn't expecting to trap 121 or 122 with a mild H/C LT1.
The only changes I made since DH10 and running the 12.3 @ 116 were:
Swapping the 3.42s to 4.10s, replacing the inconsistent, slipping stock replacement clutch with a Mcloud disk / LT4 pressure plate combo, and added a 3" exhaust cutout.
So all In all, I'm VERY pleased with the cars performance. My next goal will be to hit an 11.3x N/A once I do the suspension and put a stout rear in it. All while staying full weight (besides the swap to big and littles). I even left the baby seat in it for this event:jest:
