New best 11.27@120

Thanks again guys, I was so happy after that. When I pulled up to the time slip booth, the guy looks at me smiling and says "uhhhhhh.....you need to go see Tech". I was excited then, but I figured I got an 11.45 or something just under the 11.50 limit. Then he told me the time, and I was sitting there thinking "HOLY ****" to myself. Then the smile started, lol.
Works pretty well, I still want to find a different actuator for it. The spring in the actuator is too tight. The opposing spring has to be tightened so much that it hangs open just a little bit at idle and sounds like a small exhaust leak, and it only opens about half way with 15-20 pounds of pressure. I started to think about doing an electric actuator run off of a Hobbs switch or something. It works well enough for now that I'm not worried about it, but eventually I'd like to work on it some more. I'll get some pics, sorry I forgot them from before.
