Your 60ft was a 2.4.. Drop that to a 1.8 (with some tires and Practice) Thats .6seconds Before 60ft!!
I dont know if its True but, People say when you save .1 on the 60ft... its .2 at the 1/4 Mile... (not sure if its true) But you still have a LOW 13 if you get that 60ft down..

+1 on the higher stall converter. if you've lost some bottom end power, a stall converter will definitely drop your 60ft times. i'm sure with a good launch, your car is easily a low-to-mid 13 second ride, possibly high 12s.

Sorry haven’t got online in a few. To respond, a shop did the swap so I don’t know how hard it was. They did do a great job on the install thou. As far as it being tuned he has a dyno in his shop and gave me 2 car specific tunes on my switch able chip.
I am thinking about a stall converter but have never been in a car with one. It sounds like it will help the launch a lot, but how does a 3000 stall drive in a traffic situation? It’s not at the track but once or twice a year. But on the other hand its not my dd, it gets under 2k miles a year.
Thanks again

I was gonna mention this. Trapping 105 is huge for only running a 13.9. I trapped under 102 running a 13.5. Get a stall in there.
