Welcome onboard! First recommendation I will make is get your car out to one of our events and get hooked. Second ask as many questions as you like, we have all done it, made the mistakes, spent the money, no sense you doing the same. We are willing to get you to be competitive at the E/T you choose to run.

To answer your questions: Best 60ft's with a stick to date are mid to high 1.7. Best 60ft with an Auto are low 1.7's high 1.6's. Stick cars can pull the numbers, Slipper clutches have been used by some, But to date the best 60 ft's and E/T's have been done with off the shelf CenterForce dual friction clutches. Tell us more about your build and car, were are you located? Any pic's?
