Drag radials?....2.0 60ft?...
You should be in the 1.8's....I've ran 1.9's on regular BFG Comp TA ZR's...
Do you ride the clutch out a little or just "side step" it?...

It's a find line between spinning and hooking up...
I'd normally launch off idle...My 94 GT had pretty good low end torque, If I launched at 1500 I would easily spin my street tires...I was running stock shocks, stock control arms, stock swaybars with an Eibach Pro-Kit, with the previously mentioned tires and a King Cobra clutch...
When I'm at the "tree", I'll have the clutch pedal right on the edge of bitting/engaging...As soon as I see the 3rd amber I start letting out the clutch and as fast as traction allows I gradually floor it...
To improve on your 60ft's it just takes practice, practice, practice...
Start by launching off idle and gradually increase your launching RPM until you get just a hint of tire spin...
What was your tire pressure on your tires?...What rear shocks and springs are you running?...Control arms?...

thats a decient time...but you should be able to hook a 1.8 with drag radials. if you do that you could drop your time by almost .3...then that would be a really good time
