Default Tow Truck Baseline Stock 4.8L

Well, I decided to take the truck to the track for a baseline before the mods started. Here's the result. I left from a dead idle.

R/T....222
60'... 2.469
330'..6.837
1/8...10.479
MPH..68.08
1000.13.553
1/4...16.158
MPH..85.43

Not too bad considering it was still 86 degrees when I ran at 7:30. When I ran I pulled the tailgate off and the head light out. I also cracked the airbox. The tires are 1" taller than stock and it has a 3.42 gear. Mods list is headers, y-pipe, cutout, cpu tune, e-fans, homade cai. Hoping for 14.50's with that done. Hopefully with a set of 4.10's and a TB stall I can turn some high 13's. Is this a strong time for a RCSB 04 Silverado w/4.8L??

My corrected time according to this calculator is 15.733@87.79

I'm happy with the baseline. Wish it was faster though!! That's where the mods come in!! Which would you do first? Should I do the exhaust or the tune?
