My lowest 60 was 2.0 on street tires and stock suspension.

I would try around -2.5*, probably no more than -3.0*.

BTW, supercharged cars can hit hard too. This is an old video of my friend Zachs car.

Depending on what your car is doing, you may benefit from an airbag in your right rear, as you can see in the video, Zach could have used one.

I don't remember. An airbag or stiffer rear spring would prevent that from happening.

Or an anti roll bar, the right way to do it

Nitrous "hitting harder" might be the dumbest thing I have ever heard... The same car without spray will 60' 1.69-1.71 making what a whopping 235hp to the ground. Not trying to bash but you definately have some serious room for improvement on the launch!!! Also remember any seasoned racer will tell you .010s on the 60' = approximately .030s on the ET. If your car is running 130 mph it should easily be low 10's/high 9's on a slick with proper suspension.

A good friend of mines Fox will run 1.45 60' on a 275 radial, it is a 10.20 car probably very close to the same power as yours.

Jay-rod, I don't know what seasoned racer has told you that .1 in the 60 equals .3 in the 1/4. That's total bs, I've always hear that it equals .2 and that's a little generous. I have NEVER seen any where near a .3 reduction in the 1/4 with just a .1 reduction in the 60'. I know you said "approximate", I think the .2 would be approximate, .3 is not going to happen.

It's obvious the OP's suspension sucks. My car will 60' 1.60-1.62 N/A at 287rwhp. It has gone 1.47 on a 150 shot. I wish he was in my area I would gladly take some of his money! lol
