That's not too bad of a 60 ft for stock tires but, like you said, not that great either. Try this. Launch at around 2000 rpms + or - couple hundred. Feather the clutch out. Don't dump it. It'll help keep your tires from wanting to slip. Also you might lower the pressure in them maybe 10 psi or little less.
