Thumbs up

With the stock wheels, suspension, clutch and the mods listed in my sig at 12 psi of boost I turned a 1.89 with Nitto DR for a 12.3 at 113mph

Now I've added a IC, good clutch, Eibach progressive rate springs, rear toe links, Pettit launch kit and 14psi of boost.......cant wait to see what my new times will be!!!!!

Oh yea, I was running around 15 psi of tire pressure in the Nittos

Later,

I think there is more to 60 ft times then just suspension and wheels. How about launching technique . . . slip or no slip of clutch and what rpm . . . burnouts extra. Why don't you start talking about this too.

I never weighed it, but its a touring and I added the rear spoiler(more weight) and my Blitz Type 03 wheels arn't exactly light weight (24lbs each). So, if I had to guess about 3000lbs.

60' times

In the 1320's, the biggest thing to understand is how sticky are your tires. You really want to look for how much treadwear put on your tires. The smaller the numbers ther stickier they are. You see, you could have the most modified car but if the tires don't stick to the track you're going to be as fast as the least modified cars...

60' at 1.5

In any quick thrills such as drag racing, you will never know the potential of your car unless you know that your tires are sticking to the pavement or track. The less treadwear you have on your street tires the better off you are. The best way to go is to have slicks, of course we can't drive them on the streets, but if you like the quick thrust and really love taking others off of the line really look at the kind of tires that you might have.
