I think its for every tenth you drop off your 60' = 2 tenths down the 1/4.

That means if I could pull a 2.1 second 60', I'm in the 14's

Im with you on running street tires..... and My launch is my weak point also... I still have stock mounts and suspension so getting the launch just right is a PITA. A little to low = wheel hop from hell.... a little to high and the tires spin way to much... thats why I average a 15.2 but if you get the launch right.... you'll know it... when I hit the time in my sig I was like "whooly crap.... it hooked up!" lol

get a "H" brace to stiffen up the whole chassis/front suspension. that cut 3-4 tenths consistently off our fwd dsms. lowering the front end helped huge amounts on my eco. when i bought it, it would spin through 1st and 2nd then bark 3rd for 5-10ft. once i lowered it. i dropped a 1/4-1/2 sec, i can dump&feather my clutch from 3500 and bark 2nd with no wheel hop. it still spins a little in first if i give it too much gas. its all about controlling the vehicles weight throw and center of gravity. since your not trappign more than 110 try and get all your weight situated over the front of the car, as youll have no issues with rear swing going that sped
