In order to get a good 60 ft time with the stock tires you have to really ride the clutch out. You should be able to get a 1.9-2.0 60 ft that way but it will hurt your clutch more.
The most important part though is did you have fun?
Trust me you always remember when you break the 1 second barriers.
I still remember my first 14, 13, 12, 11, and 10 seconds passes at the track. And remember a 12.99 is still a 12 have fun.
Oh and just so you know those times were done in combinations of old cars and motorcycles. Someday I would like to see a 9

How do you like those 4.10's? Do you think that your over revving at highway speeds? To make a long story short, I currently have 3.73's and because of a shetty install, I think they could be ruined. If thats the case, I was considering stepping up to 4.10's.

Blue, I doubt you are going to find a tire that is good for both racing and in the snow...

RE: Conclusion: I need traction!
If you have 18's, and aren't going F/I in the future I'd get the 255/40's in either the BFG's or the Nitto's or do a staggered set-up with 255/40's in the front and 285/40's in the rear with the same above mentioned tires. The Nitto's are cheaper if you just get the 555's not the D/R. You definetly need lca's and brackets, those will really help with traction. With the mods you have and are going to get you should be in the 12's
