You need more power, more gear, or too slip the clutch out longer. Seems like a common problem that cam only 6 speeds have. Mine wouldnt 60ft any better then 1.7s on the 28" slicks with 6500 dumps, but adding a 150 shot dropped it to 1.47

I recommend nitrous

Looks like your car is lowered....That is the first thing I noticed...Hard to transfer weight....I take mine at 7k, 28'' slicks....still trying to dial itout..

more gear...more rpm...dont go to 28's that will hurt you more

try more rpm when you dump the clutch or even better imo is do a very quick slip as opposed to a dump...instead of side stepping the cluth raise your foot straight up with the clutch...will not be as fast and give it a slight slip that will help with the bog

get some Qa1 shocks and launch harder, and some NOS is always a good thing for launching hard

Car needs more nuts .....either leave higher off the line or add some power. I didn't see it in your sig but do you have lower control arm relocation brackets? if so move the lower control arms up to help take some bite out of the car. You could also try running a higher air pressure in the tires to maybe get spin so it would bog so bad.....my .02
