My Turbo Camaro at the drag strip.
I learned that i need to practice more.
I only tried 3 times, and I failed all tree times.
I was also only on 7 lbs of boost, and i had planned on turning it up to 12, but i never got a good launch, so i never did.
I was hitting rev limiter in 4th gear anyway, so i need so swap gears from my 4.11s to a 3.55
this was like a 12.3 at 128mph lol

and this was a measly 11.7 at 129 mph

Neither runs I am proud of, but not a bad MPH for an LT1 on 7 lbs I guess.

the 129 mph run was on the limiter a little more.
all runs we're on low boost (7lbs). I am turning it up soon to 12, then even higher.

Think a Line Lock would help for a better/longer burnout?
Are you running full exhaust? I would think that would be really bad for back pressure, especially with a 383. Depends on the size of your turbo and downpipe size. It looks like and sonds quiet enough to be a magnaflow. I run the same catback except I have a cutout that dumps about 5ft after the turbo in front of the driver seat. Let that motor breath. An electric cutout is cheap and you will probably pick up 50rwhp, no joke.
What kind of rear are you on?
What turbo/kit are you runing? Did you dyno it? Thats great mph for 7lbs.
Post some picks.

thats 4.5 inch piping on the "down pipe" and it splits into dual 3 inch mandrel bent piping over the axle on each side exhaust. dynomax bullet mufflers.
this is how it sits now, it needs some attention.
As far as the dyno, i havent re-dynoed since i changed some things. something was wrong on this dyno run. as you can see, it flat lines at 4800 rpms.
i have since changed the timing by 1 deg, and adjusted fuel AFR to 11.5:1 at WOT.
