Default Best 60ft with 3200 stall

Whats the best 60ft I should expect with a 3200 stall? So far my best 60ft has been a 1.9 60ft with MT ET streets at 25psi with terrible track prep. Ive mostly been leaving off 1000rpms.

Lower the psi to 18-20 and see where that gets you.
I get my best 60's staging at about 1000-1200ish and going WOT on last yellow (takes some practice)
Old 3000 stall in mine was 1.6X with the TH350, MT drag radials, 3.73's, at about 3450# w/ driver.

May also try going around water, then back into getting rear tires wet, pull out of the water for the burn out....don't spin in the water box or overheat the tires....see smoke, count to maybe 3, and roll out.
Need to find what your car likes....one change at a time.

This exactly, 19 lbs works for me, smokey burnt, roll out of it, leave off idle-1500rpms wot !
I have a 3600 and nt05r but what Doug G said is excellent advice
Stalling it up did not work for me and it would often fall on its face, even with poor track prep I can usually pull decent 60's doing what Doug G and I said

High 1.5s low 1.6s with my vig 3200, mt drag radials with good track prep............stalling it up a little seems to be what mine likes, when it was stock with the converter flashing it slightly off idle worked best. Seat time and practicing different techniques in time will see what your set up likes.

It was an 1/8th mile track and the best I could do that night was 8.3 at 85mph. Track prep was terrible that night.

About 2200 when it was a 3200 stall before it would creep now i have it re-stalled up to 3600 and can load it up to around 2500-2600........but i like a converter when i can just flash it a little bit over idle. I was going to try a circle d 5c in the future but my vigilante has been very good to me over a long period of time.

If you don't mind me asking which cam are you running I have been thinking about doing the 228r see if I can dip into the 11s with just a cam.

Its a small cheater type cam that i put in before i did headers. ( yea i know kinda of did it backwards lol ). It was custom ground from eps about 6 yrs. ago, wide split 219/230 duration 595/601 lift on a 117 centerline idles like stock but pulls pretty good. Looking back i should have gone bigger but can't complain car runs really good. That 228r is a great cam, that should get you there with no problem.
