i'm able to hook in 1st with minimum spin. if you heat up some good tires, i don't see why you won't be able to either.

you can always change your gears too and go taller:

I got a 1.78 60ft with a pair of $70 Pep Boys' tires on a good sticky night at the track (Mustang), even power shifted 2nd gear and did a 12.01 ET (116 mph). Spent the rest of the night trying to get into the 11's with these tires and couldn't do it. It took a week for my clutch to feel right again after all that feathering out of 1st. Cut the heads and added some slicks and got a half a second quicker and 4 mph.
