Not >sure how Todd pulled 2.1-2.2's in a NA but I guess its >possible.
Part suspension setup (front shocks as soft as possible, rear shocks as stiff as possible), part taking some air out of the tires (24 psi is a good start) but mostly practice, practice, practice, practice, practice
It took me at least 25 runs at the drag strip (that was 3 years ago!) before I even figured out how to BEGIN launching the car right. I still mess up a few times, and some days when I race it's so cold I can't do anything but spin (so does everyone else on those days, except for the AWD guys).
My best ever 60' time was a 2.231. A "good" 60' for me is anything in the mid 2.2s or lower. And, that is on stock 14 inch alloys and 195 tires.
You just have to keep the wheelspin down and be smooth on the launch. Let the clutch out. Don't dump it, don't slip it, and modulate with the throttle.
