Is your suspension completely stock? Ive heard of people cutting 1.7 sixty foots on good year eagle ones. How much did you heat up your nittos? I think you should definatly be a faster than that, but it takes time in the seat to figure out how the car likes to be driven.

It doesn't seem like much thought was put into your mods. What brand is your stall? If its a Vig don't stall it up that high, they 60 better if you let it flash from 1000rpm. If its a Yank, you should stall it up higher. Whats your trap speed? Were you spinning?

My Vig does better stalled up than flashed....I have a Vig 3200. As for your times, I was running 12.5's with a similar setup on street rims with drag radials. I now have ET Streets as well as 3.42's instead of 2.73 gears & run 11.9x's-12.ohz. My 60's are 1.6x on motor...I think I've gotten some high 1.5xs too. I get hight 1.4x's & low 1.5's on a 75 shot
