should run mid 10s with that mph. Thats a good 60ft too. Sounds to me like driving is the issue. Thats a good 60ft...good mph..but in between there something is taking to long. Maybe your shifiting? are you power shifting or just shifting regular?

I say 10 flat if you can get good traction.

Here is a good formula for 1/4 mile times:

5.825*(WEIGHT/WHP)^(1/3)

("WEIGHT" IS WITH DRIVER AND "WHP" IS WHEEL HORSEPOWER, NOT AT THE CRANK)

Hes allready getting pretty good traction. Atleast i think i 1.7 60ft is pretty damn good. What are u launching at? what is the pressure in your slicks at?

with that weight, and a 1.75 60ft time, you should see high 10's

with that weight and a 1.70 60ft, you should see maybe mid 10's..

Your trap (132) is good for high 10's@2500lbs..

whomever said 10 flat needs to go back to the domestic forum, hehe

BTW, what rpm, tire pressure and boost are you launching at. Do you have a dual stage boost controller? You need to give a little more info if you want help
