I've been 1.7 60's before. But my clutch is woreeeeee out. 1st to 2nd gear change is well... terrible. Sounds like I never shift just mows through the clutch. You say your going 14s with a stage 2 car? There's something wrong. Probably needs. Driver mod. I had a stock lgt and have bee. 13.90s with an air filter and catback.
