Got into the 12s....
Not a huge accomplishment by any means but I'm still pretty happy...
I was surprised that at the track my converter only flashed to about 2500rpms, on the street it seems to go up to about 3000, I guess I'm getting a little spin and don't know it.
I sprayed a 150 shot not quite out-of-the-hole but pretty damn close, bottle pressure was at about 1100 and the beginning of the run, and had a few gallons of C-16 mixed in with my 93 just to be safe...
This was also my first time racing on slicks, I'll never go to the track again w/o them. It's just too nice not having to worry about traction (well personally for me I know not everybody is dead hookin with slicks)...
I think my PCMforLess tune is holding me back, as soon as I get some spare time and money I need to head up to Houston and see Wheatley...
60'.................1.79
1/4 ET............12.85
1/4 MPH..........103.6
Also got a little cam I need to stick in, I want to get it tuned and head back to the track to see the difference then cam it and re-tune it and see the difference that makes.
I'd be happy with mid-low 12s after the tune, cam, and getting that nitrous flowing right outta the hole...

Wow thats good for a 4.8! I am getting my cam soon, and I will probably add nitrous also, but a stall will come before nitrous. probably since my tranny is stock Ill get a 75 shot, what you guys think wet shot or dry shot?

Thanks for all the kind words guys 
Ya know, I really think so, the more I think about how my truck runs the more I don't like the tune I got... I can't wait to call Wheatley up
The cam I got prolly isn't a great one, but I think it'll do:
216/220----.563/.568 on a 112
Might be a little on the big side but oh well it's what I got beside me I'll see how she runs
And kdubz, my opinion is on the wet shot...
