I didn't think 115mph was achievable until you got into the 11's?

A better wheel + tire combo is really where it's at though.

900 rpm seemed to be the best launch area. i tried just punchin it when the light went green and that was the 14.78 pass. i think i'm going to try and lower my transmission line pressures to keep from the second gear chirp...it about put me in the wall on my first pass

I've been thru that same thing: 100+ at low 14's. It's definately traction. Sometimes you might (at least I have) hit the rev limiter too, which will F up your night. Do the DR's and if you don't have a converter yet, do it too and that combo will set you straight.

I am impressed with how well you ran, but the mph thing is still confusing yet impressive. Even spinning I wouldn't have expected better than a 95-96mph or so trap speed. The weight even suprises me. I weighed my truck with the 20's on, toneau cover on, tailgate on, 1/8 tank of fuel, etc, full driving weight and it was only 4520. It's also an 06' RCSB like yours. I'm not knocking your truck at all, don't take it that way, the numbers just confuse me.
