Tire screw 60ft question! I am only able to manage a 1.45ish 60ft. Without gtting into details of my car......I am spinning the wheel in the tire about 3-4" a pass. If I got screws would it leave harder?

I don't know what wheels and tires you have, but I run Hooiser 29x10.5W's and they don't budge. I launch between 3500 and 4500, and have gone 1.30 60' with the back tires.
Regardless of that, the car SHOULD 60' better if the tires are not spinning on the wheels.

The car is mini-tubbed and I have a 4.5" backspace wheel. The rear bumper cover was also trimmed to allow for the growth of the tire. With the Wolfe adjustable LCA's I was able to center the wheel in the opening and keep it from rubbing.

Could this be slowing me down a whole 1/10 or more??? I got a **** load of money in my suspension and seem to have it PRETTY CLOSE to dialed in and I figure that inital "jolt" that my tires miss is slowing me down big through 60'.
