Default Car may not be as fast as I thought

Hey I am sure there are alot of you guys that have been reading some of my posts....so here it is my car may not be as fast as I thought.
I raced my buddy's SS LS1 bone stock except Lid, borla cat back and gear. .. I am on Nittos he was on street tires. I got him by 3.5 cars at 120 mph no spray. Then we raced from a roll and I sprayed and he BEAT me by .75 car. So now I am guessing that my car may be a 14 second car no spray and high 12 or low 13 car on spray. So IF you have a car that is in the 12's or better my hat goes off to you!

THe difference is that the race where I beat him on motor was from the line (WHere i the driver have the advantage and traction), and the second race was from a roll ( where horsepower has the advantage and is less about the driver)

What do you mean by "all bolt on's except heads and cam?" Just curious as to what exactly you have. There must be some other bolt ons that you are missing but could use to help slightly. Also, you should look at swapping out the heads. They can be pretty restrictive and can add a lot of HP if you do indeed have all of the other bolt ons.

Right now I have a 100 shot.. but I am buying the 150 pills in the morning.. (.063 pill).. Though I do have a question guys.. the shop that put the shot on dyno tuned the car and said they would give me the pills if I dyno tuned the car again. But my question is: as long as I change gas and nitrious pills do i really NEED to my my car dyno tuned at the same time? Or can I wait?
