RE: 60 Foot
im also not a fan of nittos, but if one of your mods is forced induction, you REALLY should have a good set of DRs. You seem newer to track racing, so with some good tires, 1.8s should be within your reach...once you do get tires, i would guess 1.9s early on.
2.49 is very bad, but thats sort of a good thing, as you have TONS of room for improvement

When my suspension was stock with the procharger at 8 psi I could run 1.7x 60s with a set of MT drag radials.

At that point, how much power were you making?

RE: 60 Foot

RE: 60 Foot
My car is auto so i tried a couple of different launchs. First i tried mashing the gas off the light that produced the worst 60 2.491, nest i feathered the throtttle off the line then mashed the gas same result wheel spin. On this run i produced a 2.400.

As for me, I tried slipping the clutch quickly from around 3500 or so. No junk in the car, clutch is fine etc....
My last two runs I did in the car were 2.0X and 2.05 which were my two best 60's to date. The track shut down that night before I had a chance to keep going in the right direction. [X(]

You just need tires since a car with that power is probably not going to be able to go wot until you're around 40-50 mph......
