I beat a 95 GT when the Vette was basically stock and stock C3s are in the 14s.

Those are sticky tires but they have stiff sidewalls. They won't take much of a shock on a hard launch and will spin so that is going to hurt your 60ft. Also, the Bilsteins are firm and with a 500lb coil you are not going to get any weight transfer which is also going to slow your 60ft. So considering those a 1.9 is really good. Just don't expect to pull that same 1.9 at Fontana if you ever decide to run a 1/4.

yeah im aware, i dont ever plan to run anything close at fontana to what i run at irwindale, also remember im running a TA with an adjustable swaybar so i know there are lower 60's just gotta drop the air pressure and tighten the rear bar, but thats if i ever run it again drag racing
