I think 13.0-13.1's is very possible if you can get traction. My buddies '96 C4 w/ a 383 and 17 X 315 X 35 Nitto DR's is getting 1.7 0-60ft times. I'd run about 20lbs of pressue in them and inflate the front tires by 10lbs.

2.7?! :eek: You must be launching WAY too hard! Even my anemic car gets 2.2 or even high 2.1's 60 ft and that's with awesome Douglas 225/70/15 tires from Walmart! :lol:

You should easily be able to get into the 12's...

Curious... 13.7 @102 with a 2.7 60 ft doesnt add up... I would have expected a higher mph to get to 13.7 after a 2.7 60ft... My 60ft are 2.2 - 2.3, and my best et is also around 13.7 but at 103-105 mph... anyway, i will be very interested to see what drag radials do for you, because I am considering getting a set for the same reason!!! funny, isn't it? An epidemic of drag radial purchases! :lol: MJ

I think that's perfectly reasonable. I get 1.9-2.0 60' times with my street performance Nitto tires (NOT drag radials). I'm currently running 13.2 at 104 mph. And that's with a ZZ4 small block with a few mods.
I also have a big block cutlass that gets 1.7 60' times with DOT drag tires. I'm running 12.0 at 115 mph in it. It has a mildly built 455 Olds big block (.544 lift cam, alum. intake, headers, etc.).
