I drove to the track (about 1 1/2 hours away) and ran on my everyday driver street tires (BFG radial TA 255/60/15), on alky of course with 22 pounds of boost. I was really suprised it ran this well. Is this a common time and speed with my set up on street tires?

Good start with regular tires. Get some M/T tires and leave with more boost. Your best 60 was after noon so I assume the track warmed up. A few tenths off that would put you in the 11s.
After looking around at other times that are posted, it seems that there are a lot of 11.6-11.7 times at the same MPH as I had (112.5). Is that only because of slicks or what? Attached a link of my best run.YouTube - 12.18 on street tires
Well it's pretty easy to cut a 1.7 or a 1.8 on ET streets so that would give you an additional 7-8 tenths off.
etnrice,nice pass.you walked it out pretty good on the vidto go 11.6's you are going to have to get a stickier tire so you can load some boost on the leave,hitting the tire harder without wheelspin,dropping the 60ft to the 1.6 range.may need more boost as well,either way more than a good start
