I was just planning on heading down to the track and running on motor to work on my R/T, so I didn't take the DR's with me. I stopped by my buddy's shop on the way to see if he wanted to ride, and he of course asked if the bottle was full. When I told him it wasn't, and that I didn't bring the DR's, he said "So!?!??!"
What I thought would be a disaster turned into a lot of fun! The truck actually hooked great on the 20" Nittos; hitting the bottle after the 1-2 shift, netted a 12.47 @ 116. Once the bottle pressure dropped, I decided to spray it in first, and pulled a 1.89 short time and a 12.37 ET, but there just wasn't enough nitrous left on the big end and I only trapped 111.
I was really shocked that I could run mid 12's at 114-116 on the 20" radials. What a fun night!
My better runs:
2.124, 12.477 @ 116.33
2.035, 12.574 @ 115.00
2.097, 12.432 @ 114.56
1.899, 12.373 @ 111.22

The truck doesn't 60 for **** on the motor. The 13.19 run on motor was a 2.05 short time, no spin at all. The truck just doesn't do crap in 1st gear. I really wish that I would have gone with 4.56's. 
The short time on the DR's was a 1.75 on that 11.57 run. In theory, that's 0.6 just in the better short time. Adding another 100 hp and even more tq is where I guess it picked up the rest of the ET from.
What surprised me is the MPH that it picked up...it only went 107 on motor, but 119 on a 100 shot. Trust me, a lot of people were scratching their head that day.
The other big factor was the DA that day. It was -97ft.
As for mods....that's the major stuff. Here's a list I made of the last round of mods...
Pacesetter headers
4L80-E swap w/ Transgo shift kit and Yank TT3200HD converter (3200-stall)
4" aluminum 3/4-ton driveshaft w/ 1350 yokes
4.11 gears, Eaton posi, T/A girdle
Cal Trac traction bars
custom dual 3" exhaust w/ 3" Flowmaster 40's
NX MAF kit (100 shot)
M&H Racemaster 275/55-16" Drag Radials
skinnies for the front (215/65-16's)

These F-ing trucks are hard as hell to figure out. My truck on motor has gone a best of 12.40@107mph. Didn't get any 1/4 times on the 150 shot, but it went 7.40@93mph with a spinning 1.9? 60ft. I have no idea what this thing is going to run with the TCI 3000 gone and the Fuddle 3800 in now. I can already tell its killing the old setup out of the hole. I wish I could get one clean 1/4 pass before it goes down again though.

Good runs Scream! I miss the good weather we had the last time I saw you run that beast.
I thought you lost traction on your 13.2 motor run earlier this year from what I remember. I could be wrong though. Your truck has 12's in it on motor I'd bet in good weather now.
When I ran my truck with the new JW 3400 converter it was very tight on motor and it loosened up on the nitrous and I gained 1.2 seconds of et and 11 mph on the 100 shot.
