Who cares what your reaction time is. Just take your time, get ready and leave when you want to. The clock doesent start until your truck rolls out of the beams. BTW, I went 14.0 @ 95 with stock tires and XCAL II.

Good rule of thumb is to boost launch at a low amount. Around 10lbs or so... The key is to reduce your lag time but also increase your tire bite. I generally launch around 8lbs on street races.. I tend to take out most that dare to play with me.. You'll find your sweet spot over time..

So i dont want to leave in 4 hi at 2200 rpms? Thought more rpm launch w/o spinning would be faster?
my first launch was pedal to the floor and brakes coulldnt hold back anymore..... so i took off.....i was halfway down the track b4 the other guy staged
I felt like an idiot

It's easy. Do a burn out and when she's cranking good and spinning around 70MPH, take your foot off the gas fast. Stalls it quick.

i can build a honda that runs in the 10's naturally aspirated for well under 10k...
but back to the original.. bro, those are respectable times for your FIRST time out.. you will get much better with practice.
a pro tree is a tough beginner tree wow, you did well.
your times are respectable for a stock fuel system, a stock turbo /injectors.
if all you have really are a straight pipe and an SCT you're doing great , that is a high MPH for a 7000+ pound truck my friend !! nothing to be disappointed about.
