Hmm, I disagree with that, Most well driven full bolt-on LS1 fbodys are in the 12s@113-115mph. Most full bolt-on Cobras are in the 11s @ 117-123mph. Big difference. I've seen that and the cam only list, it is VERY impressive, but most of it is due to the race-weight. It reminds of the guy running mid-low 11s in his bolt-on N/A Mach1! He gutted his car down and ran very respectable times.

honestly, dont know enough about GTO or their times... mostly because there is not enough who drag race.. to have an intelligent debate/conversation about it.. so i have to resort to ls1s in general.. trust me, its not personal.. nothing on the net is to me..

Cool man, then you won't mind me saying I don't think you seem to know much about Cobras and what they can accomplish at the dragstrip, (except for very poor running examples).

Most of the times you're showing me of LS1 fbodys I'm aware of! I fully give credit to what fbodys can accomplish, I'm only trying to open your eyes to what Cobras can accomplish with a sticky tire & a good driver as well.

i use my own car because it is a pretty good running H/C car.. better than saying well my friends buddies uncle has a car that supposedly has these mods i think and he ran this time...

Your car runs well, but has nothing to do with GTOs! Read the thread title.

i love the a4s! and yes it does MAJOR woners for ets with some applications (mostly depending on how shitty driver is lol)

I agree it can make a huge difference, look at that list of bolt-on LS1s, they are all automatics!

and the ones doing this are on stock blower? (that wasnt an ass question, i really am curious..)

Yes, the video I posted earlier of the ported eaton with a 60 shot, he's also run 10.80s without the nitrous. Stock headers, stock blower, stock IRS, stock 6spd, full weight car, etc..

cam=250
intake=300
gears=250
stall=300
LTs/cutout=320
tune=300
springs/pushrods=250
lid=50

i didnt add misc. things like oil and stuff.. so you can add another 60 bucks for misc. things...

i disagree there...
intake-275$
i went with new pacesetter LTs xpipe and expensive mufflers... it all cost 650$ exactly
suspension... im still on stock suspension... about to pick up a set of bags for 40$
nitrous kit.. i have bought two kits both each under 400$... one was a VERY nice kit, one is decent..
i bought my drag lites with tires in front and rear (like 400 miles on them) for 750$
im not guessing either.. i built and own my car.. along with helping and getting help from many buddies.. i know prices... VERY good (it matters to me, im not loaded).. and i do things for as cheap as possible with still buying a quality product.. if a 10 bolt brakes (mine and MANY friends spraying 200 shots have been) get another one..

You seem to have gotten some excellent deals on used parts. I never figured in misc parts like oil, (lol). I don't know how you found a fast intake for $275, they're easily $700+ new, (FAST INTAKE MANIFOLD LSx 90mm (Modified) - FAST-Intake1 by: FAST - C6), or decent complete nitrous kits for $400.

It is always a plus to be able to do your own work. I quoted prices for what it would take to buy new parts and have them installed. Anyways, the whole debate started because I said compared to doing a pulley swap or taking off the blower to have ported, doing heads/cam/intake/headers is a lot more work and more expensive.
