Will my launches improve with a working posi?

Everytime I went to the track with my Firebird, the posi was broke and it was a one wheel peel. My 60s were always in the 2.2-2.3 no matter what. Even with my DRs, the best I mustered was a 2.1x. The motor is in pretty good shape so I really don't think that has to do with it. I may be wrong. But will my launches improve with 2 wheels turning vs. one?

So yes it will improve my 60fts?

Did the one DR spin at the track? No. I had those bastards at like 15psi. Which I heard is to low. Should've had them around 24psi or so.

With DRs on the street the one tires still spins quite a bit. I guess, the most important thing is instead of an embarassing single long burn out streak, Ill 2 shorter ones.
