Default slicks 60ft. question

I have been running street tires on my crx b16w/zex dry kit. my 60ft.'s are 2.13.I have my new m&h 22x8x13 slicks and lighter wheels.what should my new 60ft. times improve to and what should i launch at?what psi in the tires?also is it true that if you gain .1 in 60ft. then it's .2 in the 1/4? any help would be great.

23" might be more ideal. 22s on nitrous with a b16 trans, you might be shifting into 2nd gear at or before the 60ft pending your rev limiter, lol.

Should be able to cut 1.7-1.8s with ease otherwise.

start on 10psi in tires, preload the drivetrain, 6500rpm, let R rip!

everyone .1 less in 60ft is said to be .15 off ET. That all depends on how consistantly you can shift, traction, etc...

man i'm sorry. I didn't put my tire size right. just got them on so forgive me. they are 8.7x25.13 m&h slicks. dpr(dan paramore)draglites 16lbs. each w/tire. also my old wheels/tires were 10lbs. heavier each. how much is this going to help since it's rotating mass? so the taller tire won't make me shift until after 60ft. hopefully right?
