Default Need better 60` times

I`m still running the same 60`times,1.66-1.69, @ 11:00 @ 128 MPH that I was running when I was running 11: 20`s @ 122 MPH,and thought I should be in the 10`s.I have a FRPP suspension and know it`s not the best for drag racing, but don`t want to lose the street handling.I`m running M/T 28x11:50 drag radials and have gone from 16 PSI to 20 PSI.If I went to an adjustable shock would it help ? Or does anyone have any suggestions?

For some reason, these cars seem to hit a 1.60 60ft wall

You are right about the FRPP suspension. You just can't have your cake and eat it too. If you want to turn, you aren't going to 60ft. My car did 1.64 60 ft and ran 11.99s at 120mph all day. But I road course mine. I was running with a 26" drag radial and 275/35/18 fronts and road course suspension.

You could try some Tokicos in the rear or some Eibach drag springs with air bags. At least with the springs you could change them out in 15 minutes to go to the track.

Do you have any footage of it leaving? Do you have LCA brackets?

I have billet trailing arms and relocation brackets.Whet I put them on it seemed to hook better, but I still think I`m spinning the tires too much.

1.6 60' times are no slouch but being you want to retain streetability, you might have hit a plateau that won't be improved without going more track oriented.

Ask me why I ran "only" a 13.54.

That was a nice simple and easy to understand way to put it
