Question 60 ft. w/ BFG drag radials?

What 60 ft. times are you getting with stock convertor and drag radials? I had mine at 20 and then at 15lbs. and heated them up pretty good and the best 60 ft. I got was 2.09 launcing off idle not stalling it up. Stalling it until right before it broke loose I got 2.1 and 2.2 60 ft. Tell me what i'm doing wrong, any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Also when going to 15 in. rims where on the caliper needs to be ground? On the outer face that you see from the side of the vehicle or on the back curved part?

seeing as 1.7 60fts are not possible without a converter, im gonna guess you guys have 6 speeds.
My car has a best of a 1.88 60ft on bfg's. But always has consistant 1.90-1.92s on nice days. I run mine at 27 psi bc they won't spin so why lower them. I tried them at 18-20 the first few passes and they were just bogging me down being so low. I leave at idle, so no secrets.

actually mine was an auto with a stock converter........1.72 was the best with 25 lbs in the bfg's. i just touched the gas til the rpms were at 1000 and stabbed it.

Thanks for the info. I'll be going to the track at least one more time this year and hopefully will get a 1.9. Thanks again for the help.
