I was running the 7DCT in a 2nd gear & 60ft start was consistently under 1.9. Pretty easy to be consistent with it. Early 1st gear starts were in the 2.0 range with too much tire slip.

You can probably carry more tire. I ran 245x35x19 & 275x30x19 on stock wheels without any rubs. Had Conti DW.
Yeah my 60' was usually over 2.0, think it was 2.1 consistently, i would "launch" in 1st at about 1800 rpm - 2500 rpm. biggest thing was grip...pretty much my 1st run would be a good hook up, then id spin for the rest of the day. i tried 2nd gear at 3k rpm, even that spun a ton.
