Default Whats the BEST 60ft with a LS2 vette (IRS)MANUAL TRANS??

I am working on my 60ft with my LS2 Vette Ive been LOW 1.7s
What is the best 60ft you got with (IRS) on a bolt on Vette with MANUAL trans???? Im on my third rear I dont want there to be a 4th.
I had some issues with wheel hop that are now resolved, but could come back if conditions change. I leave around 2500 and try to slip the race clutch,
(race clutches dont slip) I will be try a higher RPM on Wed at a track rental.
Ill post back.
Thanks for all responses
Mike

What tires are you using.

I remember out of the few times I've been to the track lately i've only got one 1.860ft time and consistent 1.9s. That's with INVOs.

I get 1.39-1.42s all day long if the track prep is good. I have been doing this w/ a stock c-5 3:42 diff using only the dte shafts and it holds up to the automatic. A 6 speed w/ a metallic clutch and/or wheel-hop will kill an otherwise fine set-up.

Phil's the man with the low 60' 6 speed runs. On M/T ET Streets i've been consistent 1.57-1.62 60's with a 5k clutch slip of the Textrallia single and a few different motors.

If you can get consistent/low 1.6's then I'd say your doing well. Only more practice and aggressive launch will really help out. IMO
