Most of the ppl I have talked to can get lower than 2.0 with the stock converter and a dragradial.Everyone complains about it bogging because it "deadhooks" but since you have 373`s I would think you could still get 1.8 60`s with the right tire pressure and good track prep.
When I raced with dragradials I got my best 60ft ever(1.667)now I have trouble getting 1.70 with et streets,it doesnt spin it just seems to grab too hard and I guess it bogs a bit not sure but it doesnt spin at all.

my old IROC went 1.80-1.85 numerous times with a stock converter and 3.73 gears on a 275/40/17 Nitto Drag radial. It was a TPI 350 engine though and low end torque was it's game It's only game...lol You should easily see sub 2.00 60 foot times with practice, proper tire pressure and a decent track. A 5-7 second HOT burnout does wonders with these drag radials, believe me.

My 91 Convertible was doing 2.0's on GSC's and 3:73's.Drag Radials will definetly help your 60 ft. Good luck.

I found that not only did 60 time improve .14 or so but I ran almost 3 tenths faster ET for the quarter just by changing to the NT555R. This showed me that I was spinning a little all the way.
