I don't know for sure after those mods, but I know of several 6.0 Trail Blazers going low-mid 13s (13.3-13.4) with intake/exhaust. A tune added to that is probably another tenth or two.
And then we all know how much power the LSx motors make with a cam....I'd say he'd go mid-high 12s no problem.

Nice. 2 seconds off a quarter mile time with a cam and headers lol that's impressive!! Well and the tune to. I wonder what my stock 13.1 would do after my mods...hmm. these Lil 4v's don't get gains outta cams like those ls' do.
I might get beat but i wouldn't think I'd get "walked all over".

They run mid-high 13s stock, not high 13s-low 14s. On rare occasion (with really good weather), I've seen stock ones go 13.5. So that's a [predicted] gain of 1-1.2 seconds, a very realistic gain for a cam/full exhaust LSx motor.
I know a guy on another forum I'm on with a bolt on Mach 1 going 12.6-12.7 at like 111 (room to improve), so assuming you can drive it, it'll be close. You definitely have a good chance.
Although I have to ask, whoever said anything about the SS having a cam?

Lee did. Also mentioned AWD, which I did not. Think he was just theoretically speaking/raining on my parade lol
you have to realize that tuning an LS vehicles even with mild bolt ons produces over 50whp.....
for instance, the GM just started putting 5.3s in the colorado, with only short ram intake and exhaust i can pick up over 45rwhp on a dyno with them, and a full second in ET at the track because of torque management and shift point correction.
your mach definately looked fast based on the video you posted, but its also got gears, bolt ons and a tune, so it might be a descent race if you put a tire on it, otherwise he's going to pull you way too hard out the hole for you to catch up. i wouldnt be surprised at all if you are in the 12s with good tires.

my bad, i threw cam in there somehow, HEHE.......
i was just raining on your roll race parade!!!! i rarely see an LS vehicle wanting a tune without at the least intake/LTs/cam, so i naturally think of the ones i've tuned when i see them brought up.....
equal tires, equal drivers you still have a good shot given your mods.

The way your mach ran in that video i'm not surprised.
Why aren't T56s good for drag racing?

Yeah, reminds me of a white one that came up on me a few weeks back.. he got the 40 punch, pretty nasty, i must say he hung with me until i finally caught and i walked about a car length a gear, from 40-140 i had a pretty far distance. then in a dig he actaully got me a little. i just kinda baby launched and feathered first but caught reeled and pulled threw second and left in third.. their pretty fast man. good kill tho. sn95>ls2 muahaha

I got spanked a few years back by one with AWD and a Lysholm Twin Screw.

I didn't know until he punched it... he followed me into a shopping center to check out my car and popped the hood with a big cheesy Kool Aid Grin. I could hear the whine as he was pulling away. I heard the guy runs 10's with that truck now.
