That sucks. Your 60' is pretty bad. You're probably leaving close to 4 tenths worth of ET just on your 60' alone.
Get that 60' down and you'll never see 11's again.
Don't be so mad-this is supposed to be fun.

Nothing to add to this. Pretty much everything I was gonna say.

Honestly, the fact that you're even going 11.0 with a garbage 1.7 60 foot is pretty impressive IMO.
That 60 foot is a good time for a stock internal car with a converter and a set of drag radials. For a h/c car with nitrous, it's terrible. Nitrous makes all the power the instant it hits, so to not be able to 60 foot any better then that means you've got to be spinning your brains out.
I don't know what you're running for a tire, but if you're not running a real boas ply slick on the car, put some on it, on a 15 inch rim. That alone will probably knock /3 off the slip, simply because if the car does spin at least those tires will recover and get you going in the right direction even if the suspension isn't perfect.

15's are my next purchase...I was using my stock 17's with MT ET streets and spun with them...I borrowed a friends 16's off a T/A and now as soon as nitrous hits(as soon as I let the clutch all the way out) im going sideways through 2nd....With the 150 shot I will get a consistant 1.6 and 7.1's in the 1/8th with the 17's...I thought more sidewall would help with the 16's........

Like said, DITCH the Radial, go bias, get some true slicks or even ET streets, screw the rims, play with tire pressure, you'll be amazed what the car will do leaving the line, 128 is a solid mid. 10 sec. pass, i mean SOLID, you should start seeing some 1.5 60fts with the slicks, just carry a neck brace, you may need it lol. In the end, if your spinning that bad now, you'll gain a good 2 mph once you hook good, thats 130, easy 10.2-10.40 pass. Just 2 weeks ago, a 99 TA went 10.3 @ 129 on the bottle (on slicks)

Your MPH will drop down when you stick a good 60ft. but your ET will dip you into the 10s easy. I'll take ET over MPH any day!
15 inch wheel with a 26x11.5 ET Street or a 26x10 ET Drag will have you grinning from ear to ear when you get your timeslip.
