It looks like a cam package will get me to the performance level I'm looking for (13.0).

Probably going to pull the trigger on this...
GM LT1 DOD Delete Kit - Livernois Motorsports

and have BRM install it/tune it.

Looks good! Similar to how I cut my air box except I did an opening on the front side instead of the bottom.

IMO I think you can get a 13.0 without having to break into the engine, especially with these new DI engines......

I'm at 13.9 now, with headers, E85 & tune. I was hoping I'd be closer to 13.5. I'll be upping the converter soon (I know, I know). That and tweaking on the suspension I hope to get to 13.5. My 60' sucks and the DA is always 2,500' - 3,000' when I'm at the track so realistically I hope a cam can get me there in those conditions.

I did see the 2014 RCSB with the cam+ at HHP that put down 400rwhp & 12.9. Trying to get close to that.

I agree, I think bottom 13s is doable stock internaled. Cam labor is just crazy high on these new engines, that's all that's stopped me.

How much do these reg cabs weigh? I would have thought you'd be faster than 13.9 on E85, although I know DA has a profound effect on E.T. Should be around 330 rwhp on E85 bone stock if GMs ratings are accurate.

My truck with converter, LTs and ORY on E85 is a ROCKET, haven't had it at the track since it's a waste of a trip without a locker and traction but a rocket none the less. The power is there, just getting it to hook up is the issue for me.

2/3 tank and removing hitch, spare and all the crap in my truck...4875 (not 2875). I weigh 225.

So a bunch.
