Rippetoe is a decent strength and mass gain program. Get strong - that is your priority. 6'1 and lighter than me is super thin. Drop down to novice level plyos to avoid frying your CNS as you push Rippetoe's program to its limits. Aim to maintain your natural elasticity and reactive ability. No one can predict how much you can gain but at a guess I'd say 5-8 inches gain should be possible after 4-5 months (or earlier, who knows?). That is contingent on you making great gains in your squat and deadlift.
