Yeah your 60s could get better. don't rev so high and drop it your just doing a sit&spin. stage first so you have more time to get setup and then hold your rpms at about 4000 ish then let out fast on the clutch at first then just kind of feel for traction when it does hook up rev out first and go into second as hard and as fast as you can.
get a few more runs in go a few more times you won't be so excited to be up. then you'll start getting better 60s.
and a little hint your 60 foot time is everything, it the most important part of the run.
and with your et a 17.7 and a 2.7 you may be able to get down to a 2.1 60 and just a better shift into third your cars not fast enough to even use fourth is it, you could probably get a 16.9. I'm pretty sure I could in that car.

Get some better tires and a turbo kit. That'll make it all better.

Re: first time at track
ok lets put it this way Snafubmx234. Everyone has their own style of writting and not everyone prefers to write the same. but to get back on topic here, i think he can run 16's. Just depends on how he drives the car and his suspension setup. im planning on turning my 82 trans am into a track car for drags and street duty to. going to convert over to coilover in the rear, and a 350-383 stroker with a 177cid prostreet sc, or a 6/8-71 weiand sc to be dropped on top of that. 700+ hp of monsterness...

Re: first time at track
I'm on the edge now about him hitting 16s...you need to cut those 60' a lot but still that might only get you to low 17s you also need some better trap speeds, I say if you are on street tires launch somewhere between idle and 2K and don't miss any gears :P
