28s may hook better in certain situations. I was not even touching the potential of this tire imo. No spin, it was bogging every hit. The tires were even at 20psi. I believe they are capable of much better than a 1.7x.

You using launch control or what rpm are you launching?
Thank you. No launch control, just holding steady RPMs with my right foot. I was not really seeing much difference in 4500-5500 rpm launches. This is likely due to my inexperience. The biggest change (which resulted in my best 60') was how quick I was getting on the gas after the clutch pedal started to go up. Once I get my left and right foot more in-tune with each other, I can try varying RPMs to see what it likes.
