might go to the track this week, need input

No, I only have a 5.3 that is 2wd. Maybe I'm expecting too much from it. I thought from the beginning that I should be able to hit 12.2 with all my mods in my Sig. Then I see 12.3 in yours, and that confirms to me that my thoughts shouldn't be too far off. Plus my heads are CNC'd and hand finished, and I am running water/meth too. I guess we will see what happens next time I go to the track. It does run a lot stronger on the street than it did before. I have 3.73's with a 4l80e, and if I roll into it in first it will haze the tires all the way through first. If I get into it too hard it will just break them loose.

My 12.3 pass was with 3.73 gears, 31.5 inch tires, stock manifolds, stock y-pipe, 2.25" kink-bent cat-back, and stock 76mm throttle body. My 5.3 has stock heads, and stock shortblock. Only mods are cam/springs/pushrods/rockers. No meth, boost only, and 90 octane Chevron in the tank.
My truck is ECSB, 4x4, considerably heavier than yours. I don't think you're expecting too much. What tire are you running?
I wish I could see a datalog and tune file of yours...

Now you really have me scratching my head. Maybe its because of that .10 smaller snout pulley.
I am running Goodyear Eagle LS2 275/55/20 tires. I think I just need to break down and get EFI Live for myself. Or take it to the dyno. Do you have any dyno #'s? What does your truck weigh? Were you leaving in 4wd?

My 12.3 at 104 was with a 3.0 pulley. Truck weighs around 5700 pounds. I dyno'd it a few months ago, with the "old setup" and it put down 425/428 IIRC. I never got a printout like I was promised..... Found my fuel filter clogged shortly after the dyno. I do launch in 4x4, and the truck does not shift out until I lift(which is after the finish line).
If I had a 2WD, I'd get slicks.
Hell, I'm trying to decide now if I should get 2 slicks for the rear, or 4 drag radials.

Now you really have me scratching my head even more. I assumed my truck would put down just over 500 to the ground. Something must be horribly wrong with my set up.
