Whats your 60ft time and suspension setup?

Your not going to run a very good time if you are just sitting there spinning so back off the power some at the line then start spraying at the 60ft mark or something.

60ft is 1.8xx spinning and a few 1.9s and 2.0 psi is 12-15 tried a few.
i can spray about 10 feet out and it will hook fine its just the hard hit at first that gets them spinning. I was just trying to see if there is a way to help me hook b4 traction bars. suspension is just beltech 4in drop springs.

I pull 1.8 60fts all the time on 20 psi in my M/T ET streets, 28x10.5 16, no spin at all unless I don't heat them up properly.

No but I have a 3800 converter and launch it WOT off the line. Have you tried doing a longer/better burnout? Or trying launching it at different RPMs off the line?
