What was the 60' time? Not sure if anyone can tell you if that time is right because only the driver knows how hard he drove the car.

2.1 60' is pretty good for street tires, maybe it was in need of a driver mod, when i took my ls1 to the track, even babying it and lauching slowly i was still running 13.3 @ 106. thats with just bolt-ons.
