Shallow staging will give you a slower rt but faster et.
Reaction time does not come into play in your et. The timer does not start until you leave the second beam.
Shallow staging in essence gives you a rolling start therefore a quicker et.
Also you mentioned that traction was not an issue but it must be if your 60' times are 2.00-2.20's. You should be able to go at least 1.90 with 3.90's.
Are you running street radials or drag radials? If you are running stock Goodyears then I can see why you can't go better than 2.00 I had the same problem with 3.73's. I got a set of dr's and dropped 2 tenths right away.
