I must be missing something about the 2.0 60' times. Are you on street tires? Doesn't look like you are spinning, but slow to get it moving the first few feet.

Yeah I'm on Maxis MV1 street tyres. I will try and dig out some vids of my slower runs but basicly if I don't crawl off the line like that then I go into massive wheel spin and run in the 13's.

I had another day racing today only got 3 runs in as the ques were HUUUUGE (Mopar Euro Nationas) I wound back in the timing for the first 3000 revs which deffinately helped me with consistancy and I managed a single 1.958 60ft. I tried to leave a little harder and again wheelspin was all I got BUT it did re-hook without me coming to far out of the throttle.

12.32 12.34 and a 12.38 is what I come away with. Best ET 117.92mph

That explains the 60 ft times. Guess you will be looking to for a set of drag radials soon. They will make a huge difference and put you in the 11 seconds.
