Jake my dog and I achieved many 1.8 60' times with a automatic on street tires. We also think you're shooting too much nitrous TODAY. If you live 200 miles from a track buy a G-Tech. Focus on 0 to 60..times...........If you're close to to a track go back.
For the price of JETS go back to a 75 shot. Learn how to bring the car out of the hole. Work for the best combo. Once you CHART that, move to the 100. Naturally, the 100 shot will require a longer delay. In our opinion you threw too much Nitrous at the car before you learned the car. Hopefully you have a simple delay timer where you can change the activation time. If you don't, buy one. In our opinion there is no way in hell a button activator can achieve the best results. Naturally a better timer is one you can program the first hit, % of hit, ramp time to full shot, etc etc.
We also think your T/P is too low. We are also disappointed that you can't gain 10 mph shooting 125 wet shot of nitrous over no nitrous.

The last time I drove a trailered race car it ran 4.88 to 5.12 in the 1/8th. But truthfully none of that **** matters today.

Definately start with going higher on the window switch like stated above. Set it just below the lowest rpm that is seen in 2nd gear. Whether it's 4500/5000/ whatever. 4300 sounds good like LS1speed said. It will basically delay the hit until the tires are firmly planted with full weight tranfer, etc.
I actually could get my 315 nitto's into the 12's even. 1st gear was worthless. 13.20's all day at 108 tires blazing....Et Streets went on and instead of 2.0 60's it was going 1.80 60's and running 12.80 @ 108.
Worst case is selling the nittos and doing a M/T

Went to the track yesterday for the first time ever. MT drag radials set at 18 lbs. 150 wet shot out of the hole, stock suspension and on stock 16 inch wheels I cut 1.60's all day and ran a best 10.84 at 126. I had bfg dr's before the mickey's and all I can say is the mickey's worked great for me.

OK guys, we are going to have to get technical here....what tires are you using and use the name for them mentioned on MT's website. Because I heard et street, et street radial, and et drag radial and they all are refering to this tire and those are each a seperate tire.

the previous owner of my car with same mods +150 wet shot on WOT switch hooked pretty well on MT ET streets (non radial)(slick type)(26x11.5x16) just above idle (1100ish Im pretty sure) just stomped it and pulled high 1.4 60's. Thats full factory suspension too. lid, muffler, 3.73s, yank 4k, and wet 150

nittos rock on the street, but at the trak they spin more than on the street (i ould chirp 1st gear at the track and i ant even sping them on the street from a stop) 315 nittos. i ust got some 255 m/t's so ill have to head to the trak to try them out.
as far as the nittos go, ive always been told that under 18psi, they will see worse traction because they will cup, but you have to heat them up for about 10-15 seconds and get them REALLY hot (i would get up to 90mph for about 6 seconds).
now i was told with the m/t's you can run them down to 14 psi and they only need a 5 seonds burn out to warm them up and clean them off. we shall see
