Just went to the Strip last Sunday and with a crummy 2.3 60ft was only able to pull off a 13.0@111. What kind of times could I see if I could get some good 60ft times. These are on street tires. Should my next mod be drag radials?

Usually people get about .15-.20 for every .1 in the 60' so you should be able to cut 1.7-1.8's which means you should be cutting 1-1.2 seconds off you time with a good launch

With a great 60' it is possible. Get some sticky tires and lets see that 11.XX run
