You didn't state year and mileage but... if you don't have the new style mechanical tensioner you need one. 1/4" in sounds like a lot. If you already have a mechanical tensioner(the one with a 12mm bolt on top), remove the 12mm bolt, then carefully remove the tensioner. After the tensioner is out, carefully pull the ratchetting part out so as to lenghten it. If it clicks more than 2 or 3 times, your chain has stretched so long that it's time for a new one. You can visually inspect the sprockets, guides, wallet to decide if a roll-in replacement is a viable option. It can save $$$.
If you have the old hydraulic tensioner, replace it , period.
ps, if you have external cam oil feed tubes(Under the cam cover) replace the plastic fitings if they are loose.
Check with a local indy if you're not sure.
