The ET mph # is more representative of your HP, where the 1/4mile time represents more your launch.
Your 60' times are the real indicator of your launch, the really good launches should be getting ~1.8s or below, where I was getting ~2.2s. Still have some work to do on the launch, but all in all I think it went pretty well for my first time out.

Okay, glad to hear you're not stock! I think autos also have an advantage because they shift so much faster and that more than makes up for the weight/loss penalty with this much power.
I know my launches haven't been great. I think my 60' times were usually around 2.5s or so. My first day was with forza when I couldn't hook up at all because of the cold. My second day the traction was much better but I wasn't launching aggressively enough because I was afraid of fishtailing like I did the first time. Definitely need to give it another try one of these days.
