A couple of years ago, I watched some "kid" drive one in at "The Beav", took out his drivers-side headlight assy., put sticky DOTs on it and plugged his laptop into it. 12.70s! Blew me away! He told me that he changed the drive chain and gears, put in a converter out of a 3.4 Monte Carlo and stock LT-1 injectors. I don't know how he reprogrammed it but he DID say that he didn't mess with the boost because he "has to drive it home".
Needless to say, I was impressed.
