K, I already predicted one thread on these boards would turn into a 7 page debate-athon and I was right, so I'm going to make my wager now and say this will be a 7 page thread too.
A LX on a diet with those mods & slicks/radials can break 13's. Without stick tires and a hard launch, you aren't going to see 13's. You simply will not pick up all the MPH you need to get into the 13's without great tires with those bolt-ons.

No, you might not get there with wal-mart special tires but a GOOD set of rubber can get you there or street slicks even.
This thread will be long locked before it hits 7 pages.

Welp, I can drive much better now than I was before.
And since then I added a few things.
But my LAST N/A run without Slicks(normal street tires, not drag radials)
I ran a 13.9@101.
I can now hit a 104 with STOCK as STOCK can be heads and that's enough for a nice 13 second run...
And if you really want, I can find the slip of my last N/A non-slick run and post it if need be.

RE: 13's with simple bolt ons..some say no and I say yeah
i may not be as "experienced" as some of you, but i know what ive seen and ive seen stock 5.0s run 14.5, so running 13's are not at all hard to hit.., though, ive never seen a whole lot do it because, 5.0's are usually stock, or heavily modded. but i would imagine simple bolt ons would make u hit 13s if u can drive, remover silencer and put in k&n, 4:10 gears, headers h pipe mufflers, some good DRs and you should hit a high 13, just make sure ur not scared to powershift, i know i love it
