Depending on how much tire spin you are getting, you could shave somewhere around.3 to .6 seconds. Slicks make a hell of a difference.

if i get .6 that would be amazing, right now i hit 13.5@~102(lost the slip) with a ~2.1 60' time, not bad for the first time to the tracks, lookin for close to 13.0 or 12.99 if i can get lucky enough, but that is pushin it. thanks BBADWS6

No problem, cowboy. Now that i see you are cutting a pretty decent stock 60 foot, i would say that you might be able to get it down to somewhere around a 1.7 with tires. I had 26x 10.5x 15 inch ET streets, and it dropped my 60 foot dramaticly. What will really help your 60 foot will be slicks, a converter, and some suspension mods.
