Mine are horrible. I'm curious to see what psi everyone is running, how hot you get the tires and what rpm you launch at.

The best 60 ft I ever got with mine is 1.84, 2.73 gears and a Yank 2800 stall, dead hook. Ever since I went back to a stock converter and 3.42 gears I haven't gotten a clean launch with them, always some tire spin and 1.92-1.95 60 ft times. I heat them until I can see smoke in both mirrors, about 5 seconds.
I've talked to guys with higher-stalled autos who have cut 1.6 quick times with Nittos.

I have cut a 1.69 and a few 1.70s. Its hit or miss though as its not consistent. You need good track prep for a dead hook.

it also depends on your suspention set up if its stock or moded.
i can constantly get in the 1.8's and i have broke the 1.7's before.
i run about 25psi at the track(if the track prep is good i will allmost dead hook)
i have a stock stall also.
the lowest i will go is 19-20 psi if its spining a little.
