A converter isn't going to help your 60ft. time. Sticky tires first, then a high stall converter. Traction alone will put you well into the low 11's.

Are you kidding me? Bringing your power band in at lauch can't help your 60'?
A good nitrous converter will drop his 60' and shave a few tenths off the top end.

What good is a converter if u cant hook?......The other guy has a point, but stickies and converters go hand in hand.

COngrats on the 11's!!!...im chasing that 11 sec pass my self this season, as soon as the track opens.

damn...your 60' sucks!!!!!!! converter will help but you'll still need to hook. i was cuttin 2.1-2.2's on nitrous because i wasn't spraying until 60mph and spinning!
with that trap speed, i would want to be cuttin 1.7's on the 60'. then you'd have a 11.5 easy. good luck.
