^^beat me to it...
With his bolt-ons I would thing OP would be running faster than that (unless he has some really poor DA). A little weight reduction and a good tune should get him the win!

What is the 60ft?

Also look into losing some extra weight

Thanks for all the info guys. I will look into doing some of the mods you have recommended. @ thunderstruck my 60' varies alot for a car I dont think is spinning but it ranges from its best of 1.77 to 1.83 and it will vary that much in one day not totally different days with different conditions. I launch the car at the same RPM (1500) every pass but have no idea why some much variance in the 60'

What gears do you have? It could be bogging if you have too little gear and are hooking well.

Have you tried flashing the converter from idle?

I still have 3.23 gears but I dont think its bogging it feels like it leaves really good just not very consistent. I have tried a few different launch RPM but I havent tried it from an idle. It has its best 60' when I go with a higher RPM but its harder to bump in to stage the car plus at 1500 their is a line on the tack to reference to insure I'm at the same point every time thats how I ended up with the 1500 launch
