Default Are 1.6-1.7 60' times feasable w/o wheelie bars and full drag setup?

With my project comming along nicely I would like to move more into the suspension part of my project. I would idealy like to be able to get 1.6-1.8 60' times.

I was thinking of...

rear.
ominpower drag coilovers

front.
Full race traction bar
energy suspension master bushings
motor mount inserts
springs/shocks current setup (tokico blues, neuspeed springs)

definataly. I was hitting consistent 1.6's 1.7's with only some wack ebay coil overs with about three bumpstops in the rear and a traction bar up front. Launching at 6800 rpm. Good luck with your set-up.

Of course, running street tires on the track is pointless IMO.
