Is there a comparable chart that will show where you should be at based on 60' time, and/or ET and or MPH.

My car is going 1.75 60' 12.2-4 at 107-109mph

I am trying to figure where I should work to get the car to a lower ET.

Thanks.

it's way off, you should be in the 1.56- 1.65 range imo.

Meaning a 12.2 ET should yield a 1.56-1.65 60' time?

That calculator is great, tells me my 2.0 60's are terrible to go with my 12.77. I should be 1.77 or so, guess there is more there.

I could be wrong but the too big 60 foot killers are 1 tire spin and 2 driving through the converter.
This means the converter is a little tight for the cam and where it is degreed and the car goes aways before it hits it's power band will act like a sudden increase in power like you just gave it more throttle.

And add that some vacuum actuated 4 barrels come on what to late with improper spring tuning and sometimes diaphram leaks and other problems.

My car runs 12.50's typically and 60's between 1.67 and 1.70.

Best ET was 12.37@106 with a 1.67 60 foot, so yes, you are leaving some ET on the table with what you have now, but you aren't terribly far off.

And according to the Wallace Calculator, my car 60's too fast for the ET it runs. I guess I'm an over achiever.

That's a step in the right direction, but you're probably not going to drop a tenth in the 60 just by swapping t-bars. Better plan to spend some time at the track tuning the whole chassis w/ that new combination.
