Well 60 ft is kinda high so i imagine you were on street tires. aim for 1.75 in your 60 with slicks or drag radials. My bone stock 1999 t/a ran 8.2 with a 1.8 60 ft so your about right

get some DR's and that will fall dramatically, my guess would be in the 7.8-9 range.

Honestly you should at least be going 7.5 with your mods. You may need a tune because your 60 ft wastn horrible and you should have at least went 8 flat worst would be 8.1. Hell stock i have went 8.7 with a 2.1 60 ft. i would bet money you dont have a tune with your set up.

Last year with similar mods but with stock cam i was in the high 7's with Et Streets. You need traction with a converter. I don't have numbers yet this season with 100 more HP.

Yeah the biggest mod between you and I is the 4:10 and the exhaust that alone is worth all of mine.

Hell the 4.10's are only worth 1.5 to 2 tenths at the very most

yeah at the very most assuming you hook great 2.5 tenths still at the most. Plus the fact that its a bad gear for a 10 bolt. makes it twice as weak and much more likley to break. The pinion gear is tiny and cant take much of a launch at all.

really 3.42 is probably the best gear for strength but 3.73 are still much stronger than the 4.10's. If it wont handle a launch why have 4.10's. Thats the reason everyone wants 4.10's right. quicker accel. Well 4.10's are useless on street tires youll spin all day. But they wont handle slicks so whats the point. 4.10's if you have a 9 inch or a 12 bolt other wise a bad idea.

3.73's, unless you can live with 4.10's in the rear

your reaction time was horrible. let off the brake when the 3rd yellow light turns on, not the green light.

get some lca's and maybe lca relocation brackets and sticky tires to work that 60' down

and i think ur tune is the sux
