well I have the lower control arm lift brackets, so when I give it gas the whole car raises and then i start pushing through the front brakes, the rears must not be adjusted tight enough, I think its on the verge of building boost but then I start to creep forward.

If you have the G-body 8.5 rear try some 7/8 wheel cylinders from a mid 80's manual brake s-10 part # 33892 at autozone and get the cheapest organic material shoes-get 2 boxes so you can use the long secondary shoe in the front too
I'm assuming you have a line lock if not you will heat up your rear brakes and it won't lock down good even with the bigger wheel cylinders and long shoes
I could cut 1.45 60ft's all day long only suspension mods were air bag in the right spring at 30psi and no front sway bar on 28x 10.5 M/T slicks
1.45 60 ft on your car you could see some 10.20's

Good tips. I will try that. And no I don't have a line lock. I don't have a front sway bar, and I have an airbag in the right rear

That's with a single cheap turbo on a basically stock 5.3? Pretty nice. I'm surprised the gears were too low. What tire size are you running?

Motor has a gm zo6 cam. I shift at 5500. I go into 3rd before the 1/8th mile. So between the small 26" tire and converter slip the car wasn't pulling anymore. Was making weird noise so I assume the valvesprings were floating also.
