Is a 1.7 second 60 foot time good??
I blew a 1.67 60' on bone stock car...then proceeded to miss 3rd gear and net a blazing 13.8 qtr run! I suck! In the next three runs before I went home, I couldn't get anywhere near the 1.67...1.78 was my 2nd best all day. That was the only time I took the car to the track.
It's all in how "deep" you stage your car. Roll injust enough to turn on Staging light=Good 60' time,poor reaction time. Roll in until prestage light goes out=deep staging=poor 60' time but great reaction time,and in some racing orginazations,red light,automaticly.The key is to be consistant on your staging procedure.
I'm no drag racing expert... why would deep staging give you a poor 60 foot, your car is closer to the 60 foot mark so your 60 foot time should time lower, right? Also your et should be better with a deep stage right? I sure don't do either, shallow or deep, I'm going to try next time I go to the track though.

As far as getting the most out of your 60' time chase the clutch lift with the throttle.
You dont actually dump the clutch,you just slip it real hard.DOWNside is your clutch doesn't last all that long,upside is your tranny and transfer case do
What is cheaper,clutch or transfer case? I know which one I am getting good at changing
