I am inclined to say that you should just go run it, some LT1's had a bit of freak in them, some did not. I had one that was a wee bit blessed, imho. From all the people who ran me, they agreed it was damn strong for stock. (CAI only=stock imho.)

High 13's depending on how agreesive you are on the car and the launch of the line. Maybe mid 13's. Your traction count alot so have some DR's or slicks.

I have ZR rated tires on the car now, too, so that'll help with traction.

ZR's are good too. Make sure when you drag the car to run low pressure not to low but a little lower then your usuall daily pressure for xtra traction.

I say leave your tires where they are for pressure, ZR tires just cup, expecailly wide ones. I know the crappy tires on my 5.0 hook better now that i went from 28 to 35 PSI. Before, the burnouts were dark at the edges.
