I don't see it dropping much, your 60' is pretty good as it is.

2-step and a brake, might drop to 1.35 or so. I went from 1.30-1.32 footbraking at 3500rpms to 1.26 leaving at 4400 off the 2-step.

The trans brake will probably help your 60 out a little. But most guys use it for consistency. Put a 2 step in there and then it is just a matter of releasing the button, so it is very repeatable.

Forgot to mention, I painted it teal also. So it's pretty extreme, haha.
