you should be in the 11's easy. plenty have mentioned possible reasons for low ET.

I would also be launching at a higher rpm. while I probably have different size tires(28x16), they are the ET Streets and they are a great tire. I will be launching about 5700 the next time I am out. I just put 3.73's in as well. the way I look at it, if you aren't spinning, raise the launch rpm. it should drop your 60'. But remember, the higher you go, the faster that 1-2 shift needs to happen
I was wondering how long it was going to take you to post in here. I hope to be able to go to Noble here soon to see what I can do at a better track with some good air. Do you have a solid rear in your car or Irs? My tires are the MT ET streets on stock 17" rims, I don't know the actual size.

And about the twin turbo system, that is on the back burner until we have the kid and get used to that way of life. It is going to be a whole new world for us!!
