Default how much will a launch controller help?

Ran the car for the first time this year since I installed the MWC 9" & MT ET Drags. Dumped the clutch @ 4k and netted a 1.58 60'. 4.5k launch netted a 1.55 60'. I didn't run the car after that, but each run was 10.76 @ 129.6/7mph N/A.

I have the -003 two step waiting to be installed, just haven't done it as I'm not sure how to wire it and run nitrous in first gear (when I'm ready to run the No2).

Does a 1.45 60' seem realistic with the launch controller and the 6 speed? I've got a 13lb hood waiting to go on, lightweight battery for track use, and moroso front runners that will all be going on, and should total another 75lbs off the front end. Do 10.50s N/A seem reasonable?

A progressive controller can be a big help if everything else is up to par. I'm running a 200 shot, and from running a timer with .4-.6 seconds of delay to a full hit to an Edelbrock progressive with 40% at .25 and a .4 ramp to full netted a .05 60 foot time drop.
