I agree
To the OP what 60 ft times were you getting with the MT's when you were running 14.00's ?
And if you dont already have them I would suggest some adjustable shocks and struts to help you weight transfer off the line.

your already there.
you just need to drive the car harder/correctly
don't take offense to that, but with mickey's you should be cutting 1.9 on a really bad day, 1.6-1.7 all day long
knock off .5 sixty and you'll knock off 1 second et
b4 shocks/struts i'd have mega bite jrs, and low pressure in my mickeys.
what were u trapping ? should be in the 100 mph range b4 the heads, and about 105 after
every tenth of sixty is 2 tenths on the big end
2.2 is street radial times,

nitrous is a waste of money in my mind until you start making lots of power anyways pay 700 bucks for a kit pay for each bottle you use and pay for a tune then u usually want to go faster and spray it till the motor is anhilitaded id rather go sc or turbo so the power is always there for free(same goes got to get a tune) dont take offense to that either everyone has there ways of stuff i dont trust myself with nitrous and those mt's are dot drags guess i need to specify that in my sig better my bad

i'm trapping 99 mph and it almost snaps my neck when i shift, nitrous is a waste of money in my mind , i hate to really go fast but i can beat all the honda prius's around my house. u see iowa is like a drag racing central to the entire midwest and we know everything there is to know about everything. i just wanted to see if u dumb ***** knew anything like even how to wipe ur a$$ without help, but i see u don't
awesome... congrats.... 16.80 is pretty fukkkin stellar and i'd be happy with that from my honda accord. er wait... do u have a mustang ?
