It's fine I'm just looking for ways to run faster. I can't get out of the hole. I ran a 2.3 60ft the other day. That was with 235's and just lowering pressure. Any help on decreasing 60ft would be great.

Move what weight you can toward the rear of the car, like put the battery in the back and remove all the other dead weight you don't need in the car, like seats, etc.

I've got Mac Lowering Springs. Hotckins upper and lower control arms. Used to have a battery location kit but I didn't like it. Couldn't have helped that much. What about subframe connecters?

Stiffening the chassis will definitely help out with getting better traction as the torque twisting of the chassis under hard acceleration will be greatly reduced and the reaction does more to plant the rear tires rather than twist the chassis.

Are you running regular street radials, if you you NEED to get at least a drag radial of some sort,I hear very good things about the new Micky Thompsom drag radial.
