Default Drag Radials Only - 60ft times

Im curious to see what kind of 60ft times are being run on Drag Radials with M6 trans. Im looking for a drag radial that can be used on the stock SS 17inch rims, I have Nitto 555R now but can only seem to cut 1.9 60ft times, I like the M/T Drag Radials but not sure if they will fit??

m/t says the 275/40/17 will fit 9.0-11.0" rim. So they should fit fine. Personally the best time I've run on the m/t radial is a 1.7 60' cam only. I'm sure more tweeking on the suspension could get the time down a little more, but my setup is changing and so is my tires. I run a 15" wheel but I've seen the 17" m/t's run 60' times in the same area.

I cut a 1.9 slipping the clutch off the line to save my 10 bolt. You guys who launch with no worries should have no problem cutting a 1.7 60'.

on stock 17x9's with 275/40 MT's I cut mid to low 1.8's
on 17x11's with MT 295/45's (+ better springs) I cut mid 1.65's all day long (sidewall FTW)
