You've got very good mods, but those tires aren't helping you.
Long before I was turbo'd, I went 13.7@99 on a stock LQ9, headers, 4.10s and my own tune. That was on 285/60/18 Toyo Proxes which were very large tires, 32" diameter. 60' was 2.0. You're pushing slightly more weight being 4wd and all, but with a good 60', I could see you hitting 14.0 maybe a hair under.

As far as my mods go, i think they are pretty decent..i know there are better ones out there though...got told the other day that my blackbear 91+ scan cable tune was junk basically...i mean the truck runs strong for what it is...and the trans improvement was amazing..nice firm shifts and the shift points are so much better

Well i bought some 265/70/17 tires today on some other gmc factory wheels so maybe that'll help some..may just press the 4wd button to solve the traction problem for now but im curious as to whether ill break anything or not...

. Plenty of trucks have gone 10's with stock 4wd setups. They are tough.

Run it in 4wd. There's no reason not to.
Also, not sure if you were brake stalling or just punching it when the light turned green, but definitely do the brake stall to help get you out of the hole.

will be locked in 4wd for sure..and last time i was just rolling into it..i couldnt punch it last time because it would just knock the tires off in 2wd..Ill brake stall it as well this time
