Default Best 60' on stock springs and shocks?

I don't have the funds for hals and springs al the way around so i was wonderin what kind of 60's everyone is pullin on stock stuff?
I'm pullin consistent 1.52's stock internal, th350, 5300 stall, 4.10 spooled 8.8 at a 3050 lb race weight. Is this good, bad, ugly?

I take it this was SI?
i don't think mine will go that low i've got 120,000 miles on them. except for the front shocks i replaced those with stock take offs a bout 40,000 miles ago. Oh well i'm ok with low 1.5's for now.

Hey, 1.5's aren't bad. You can only go fast as your money will let you go. I have to say, that is a little quicker than my 1.68 from last weekend.

Yeah i think my converter is holding me back in the 60's right now. i have a stock cam that the torque peaks in the mid to high 4000's but my stall converter is a 5300.
Oh well i'm not gonna change it cause its gonna KICK *** when i throw a cam in it.

1.505 @ 3500 lbs race weight! stock shocks and BMR lowering springs (i think they hurt my weight transfer). that was spinning too for the first 30'
