Re: what kind of 1\4 # for vortec

To be cheesy, you gain .1 in the 1/4 for every 100lb you loose. It's like gaining 10hp. Gain 100hp and you technically should gain 1 second in the 1/4. With 6psi, that's somewhere toward 120hp, so just about a second. But by your times (13.7) with gears, cai and exhaust - that isnt too bad. 13.7 is one number, but the MPH will tell us a lot more. I'm guessing you were spinning a lot, and probably on slicks if you keep it together and traction is good, hopefully a mid 12.

Dont forget, slapping on slicks is only a start- but there are those with a 12bolt rear, slicks, exhaust, cai, and headers and gears that have taken an lt1 to 12 flat passes. But noting that you dont have killer suspension stuff, you probably cant launch it too hard (or want to, as you'll nuke the 10 bolt doing that) you should be running mid-low 12's... I'd guess... but driver skill will prove that or break it.

I'd say probably mid to low 12's with some good traction.

Hehe 10 bolt. He's not going to break a 12 very easily.
