Will cutting 60' times raise my mph?? Ran a 12.4 @ 120.7 with 2.3 60' time... Was wondering if i can get that 60' down to maybe a 1.9 would that raise my mph any??

Generally no. BUT and I do stress but for example if you are running 100mph with a 2.4 60 foot and you dont change anything on the car as far as things that are traction related (i.e. lower tire psi, remove sway bar, add tire psi to the fronts etc etc) and you actually just drive better and maybe get a 2.1 60 foot.
Then you should gain mph. Most times ive seen with my nitto drag radials, if I dump the psi, my mph goes down, 60 foot goes down, and so does et. But when I leave them higher and get a good hook (as good of a hook with the lower psi) I gain mph.
Thats the only way i can explain it becuase it personally happens to me and the people who i race with consistantly, the time slips tell all

im getting shitty traction too i see about 2.1-2.3 60' times. my 2.1 would have been my best mph if i didnt hit the limiter in 1st. i think once you get down to about 1.9-2.0 on the 60's your mph will keep going up but once you get below that it may steady out or drop a little. but who cares as long as the et is getting better.
i was wondering the same though wondering if my trap will get better. my friend seemed to get his best mph with a 2.0 60 foot

Generally, hooking better will increase your MPH. However, hooking hard and bogging will KILL your MPH. If you get a dead hook and don't bog, everything will improve, including MPH.
