Jeremy...here's an F Body for ya'. This is my buddy Mike I race with. I assume it's the LS1 block...but bored or stroked to 402. Maybe you can tell by the underhood pic. He usually hits me up for some race gas...lol...to fill that square container on the right with the round lid on it...can't remember what he said  he needs that little shot of race gas for. Maybe you know. Those are MT ET Streets 11.5's on the rear...and his short time is usually 1.48 to 1.52. Best is 10.01...and he normally checks in around 10.2 to 10.3 at 135 to 138. Has the original reworked 4 speed auto with a Yank 3400. Drives the car to and from the track...not a sissy like I am trailering  mine.

Oh...almost forgot...it has 3 stages of nitrous.

Guiness Book Of World Records has me named as the only person on the planet that adjusts his boost pressure with the actuator rod.

With line lock and all long rear pads and S-10 rear wheel cylinders you can hold some silly RPM's on the line. I don't recommend the rear brake setup I have on a street car...cuz the arse end can come around on you in a panic situation...or on a damp or dusty road. Been there...done that.

Note the hotwire kit...think the one in the pic is for the pump...and I have the other from Jack at Racetronix for the injectors...an d Caspers V plus volt booster. Guys, I can't stress enuf how important it is that you supply these engines with the fuel pressure/volume they require. You wouldn't believe the PL files I look at where the voltage is in the 12's...and the guy is wondering why he's seeing KR...or why he tossed a set of head gaskets.

Yes...that's a fire extinguisher.. .and it fits tightly between the seat and the console. I've seen way too many guys stop haifway down the track...or at the turnoff road...and stand there and watch their pride and joy burn to the ground.

Here's a couple of pics I just took. Unscrew the line from the MC and screw it into the roll control...and install the other line Jack sends. Wire it...and you're good to go.

Line lock. You can leave with lots more RPM. One on my car is so simple...even a cave man can hook it up.
