i meant street...not ss. Can anyone give me some pointers as how to get <2.0 60' times on street tires? I have tried just about everything and the best i can do is 2.1 flat. If i could get below 2 sec i could run 13.5 on 7psi. I am trying a new suspension setup this time around, hopefully it will help

lowered your rear tire pressure yet? that will make the biggest difference on a hard street tire... just don't go below 18 PSI or so.

And make sure you have something to air them back up with before you leave. Try also putting extra air in the front tires. Reduces the contact patch which will reduce friction a little.
