If you run between a 11.0-11.5 what is your 60' time?

This is a very general question. Gearing, converter selection (or if a manual trans, clutch holding/dump rpm, etc.) and weight will make the 60 foot vary a bunch from combo/car to another.
My Nova goes 1.52 60 foot and 11.42 @ 114 mph with a 3800 stall converter and 3.73 gears. Compare that to a drag-race only car with higher gears and looser converter, the 60 foot could easily be a low 1.4X 60 foot with only 2-3 tenths quicker e.t.
Your 1.55 isn't too far off for the elapsed time, but there is more left there based on the mph. If you are dead-hooking, a looser converter could get you into the 1.4X range, but at what cost?
All decisions you have to make deciding what route you want the car to be.

I had the BMR Extreme duty anti-roll bar and it made my car launch dead straight every single time... I love it... and i use it on all my customer cars also...

Those times were full weight and everything up front stock. With only one side off the swaybar. I did have the eibach drag springs in the back with an air bag in passenger rear spring, adjustable torque arm, LCA, Panhard bar, comp eng. rear drag shocks.
Now I removed 150lbs and I will be putting the eibach drag springs in the front.

Put the eibach drag springs in the front and with the weight reduction I got a 1.483 sixty foot. Tried to do it again and boom. 
No more ten bolt.
150shot-----------------------------------------------------210shot
On the second pass I had to get out of it on ther big end. Oil on the track and the car got loose.
It's time to get the nine inch under it.

Jeez I was making 1.47s before I put a real quiet muffler on. I'm doing 1.55 60s now and only running 10.70s @ 128 down from 10.40s @ 133 with a straight thru muffler. All motor (346) true single all the way out the back 3in exhaust w/Hooker aerochamber and slipping clutch.
I'm thinking deep 10s with that 1.47 60ft time. Your car must be real light with a loose converter.
