A triple C5-0 cluster would be really sweet off the pad if you like a good hard kick, and they will fit in a BT-60. The C5 peaks at 21N in about a half a second, so that would be a 63N peak, then about 1.5 sec of 9N thrust before staging. Of course, you'd have to dig out the delay train and ejection charges, but they are easy to get to on such a fully stuffed motor. Oh, and it would be a baby E at 23.3 N-s
