We're fairly raw in terms of technical knowledge, and I'm just looking where we should start in terms of engine mods.
We have a been a best of 12.12 in amazing air, on average we are around high 12.20's low 12.30's. We have aftermarket headers with full exhaust, a moser 12 bolt rear end, and just a couple other little add on's. But once again, any help would be appreciated, we are not looking to break records, just looking for some divisional race fun.
Thanks,

Jarrod,
We run a 2004 Corvette that is IHRA Pure Stock legal; fits into B/PS. With a Bullet cam, Yank SS4000, 3.90 gear, headers, and drag radials it runs almost a second under in good air (11.5x on a 12.45 index). I will be taking the cam out soon and if you're interested I'll make you a good deal on it. Also, I'll be glad to help you in any way that I can. The LS1 cars (as do most I guess) respond very well to gears and a converter. The cam helped also but having to run stock duration as well limits us. The best part of Pure Stock, especially with our car, is we can still drive it on the street any time we like (although we seldom do) and it drives just about like it did when it was stock. Noticed the last time we were on our way to a car show that the DIC said we were getting 28 mpg on the highway!
If you have IHRA tracks around you going Pure Stock first is a logical first step and then later if you want to jump in fully you can always finish the conversion to B/FIA and B/SA.
