What 60' times are you cutting?]

I cut a 1.878 on bald street tires holding the brake and the RPM's at about 1200. I did a full throttle launch as soon as I felt that the tires weren't going to spin anymore. I have a 2400 convertor too.

a good 60' time is 1.7XX NA (natural stock motor)
great is 1.6xx(stock motor on N2O
and whenever you get 1.4xx you are doing good
but 1.3xx are the best(most street car dont see that)
