Default Drag radials

How many tenths do drag radials normally knock off 60ft times? The best Ive been able to muster is a 2.333. I mostly get 2.4-2.6 depending how much wheelspin I get. Rightnow It spins all of 1st and half of 2nd. I launch at idle.
Thanks for the help in advance

Not at all. If a larger tire allows you to cut better 60's (even like 2.1 60's) you'll shave over .5 sec. off of your current E.T.'s cutting 2.4+ 60's . You need to practice and try different tire pressures. I've cut 1.8 60's on 225/50 BFG's and 2.0's on Straight Kuhmo Ecsta street tires.

EDIT: I'd suggest the 205/50/15 BFG at lower psi (10-14) for you as well. They like lots of heat so, keep that in mind
