What do you drive? I would say gears should do it. Put you at least at 8.9's or lower.

Well I've run a best of a 8.16 in the 1/8 with the mods in my sig.

There you go. Look at Bills times. Shows whats possible with a good suspensin and an even better driver.

BTW Bill, I read you are thinking of going the Cobra route. If you do, good luck with that.

Get you 60' time lower (around 2.0-2.15) and you should do.
To do so, try a brake torque. If you simply jam the gas and you don't break your tire loose, then try giving a litle gas while you're applying the brakes. Then when the lights turn green lift of the brakes and jam the gas. The idea is to raise you're rpm's for your launch. Hope this helps.

I run 8.4's in 1/8 with stock rearend and suspension. Get tires to help lower your sixtyfoot then play with launch and shift rpm till you find right combination.

EDIT: Not sure if you have traction control if a newer car but make sure its turned off.

i do power brake at the beginning but i put it in drive and let it shift on its own and the trc. ctrl. is on the whole way i would love to 2.1 60 foot but dont know what to do at start off because i do spin i dont burn out just spin a lil at the beginning without goin through the water box

If you're serious,
You'll want to go with a shift kit, stall converter, drag radials, and 3.73s or 4.10s.

There's a good auto tranny tune article in MM&FF this month. You might want to check it out...
