You need to remember KCIR is at least 1000' and it's always HUMID since it's right next to the river.
Yes the 2.18 was walking it out in 1st and quick shifting to 2nd with some spin in 2nd. No real application of any power until in 2nd gear.
When I tried to give it any power it spun through 1st and 2nd and gave me 2.2's or 2.3's.
If this platform could ever hook
there is easily sub 2's in the car.
Also remember that 2.18 is on 25.1-25.3" tires. It's much easier to get low 60' times with smaller tires. (though my DR's are 225/50 and ~25")
I need to pick a nice day this fall and try going to Heartland Park. It's only at 600' and NOT by a river.
As for comparisons. Most people run 1/2 second & a few mph slower here.
For instance - I have yet to see an SRT-4 in the 13's though recently one person with Stage 1+ package (03 IIRC) posted he hit 13.99 @ 99mph.
Most are low to mid 14's. Even with a few bolts ons. For instance a guy on the fast4door site is all pumped about maybe hitting low 14's this fall with his 04 SRT-4 and he has intake, BOV, etc.
There is another guy with a GTP that went 13.88 @ 98 and he has a TON of bolt ons including a 2 step smaller pulley.
Why do you think I went nutz when I smacked a high 13 at nearly 102mph!!!
Especially considering the launch consisted of push starting it. Damn touring cars...
