My bro ran a 13.5 completely stock in a 99 T/A (no WS6) auto tranny...
Now he did a small mod the the MAF his self, and got the wisper lid.. he is
now at 13.3@105 (not bad for $165 in mods, and the 2nd gear hanging) He will
be shooting for 12's with a Hypertech programmer and his new WS6 hood (got
it from a dealer, not an aftermarket...) Them LS1's are some great
motors... if you ask me.. one of the best i've seen....
