Default What do you think?

I know I know build it, put it in and run it. What would be a good estimate on new times in the 1/4

The new setup
LQ4, LT's and ory, elec fans, crank ud pulley, 228 228 588 588 112
heads 317 milled 40 or 50 thou, p&p I think I am going with the stock gaskets.
4L60 with 3600 TC
4.11 gears
26" et street ( do I need to go to a 28?)
ARP rod and head bolts.

Last time at the track the truck weighed 4330 with me(205) in it and about an 1/8 of a tank.

low to mid 12's?? Im just throwing a number out there... I would say a 3200-3400stall would be good enough but if you have your mind set then go ahead!! when is it going in?? and I would think you will need the 28" e/ts...

28" slicks without a doubt! As far as times, I would say you'd probably see a bottom 12 no problem.

if you mill the heads that much you will need to mill the intake as well, they told me back when I bought the 5.7 heads that .30 is as much as you could go with out doing the intake. good luck.

Just thought about injectors. Will I need bigger injectors, how big?
