Wish I was reporting better times guys...
I am just going to list the best run:
60' - 1.876
1/8 - 7.847 @ 91.09
1/4 - 12.18 @ 113.30
After the first 2 runs, The trans was getting stuck in second gear. For some reason, it is not downshifting into first after the burnout. I tried putting in park, reverse, and nuetral and the result was the same.
I was/am so frustrated. The weather got better and better. I did run a 12.4 and 12.5 launching in second gear, so I guess that is not too bad. I am hoping it is a tuning issue and not mechanical issue.
With a better 60' (Caltracs) and 4.10's, I think I can hit 11's on boost only. Sorry to keep you guys in suspense and not report back with 11's.
Maybe next time.

Jason, don't be sorry, you freaking hit a 12.18. How many of us have done that without some serious help (eh hum, nitrous) or major lightening. Your truck is one of my favorites in the looks, sounds and performance departments. Be happy!

I wish my truck looked half as good as yours does...
Sorry to hear about the trans, I know how bad it sucks to be at the track and not have your crap runing the way it should....
Let us know what the story about the trans..

Thanks guys!!! It is a new best, so I happy for that. I just wish I could have put it akk together for a better run.
I am not even sure where to take it for the trans issue.. My tuner or a trans shop. I need to figure out what would cause it to het stuck in a gear...
I will keep you all posted. Thanks again everyone!
