listen you ingrate you said you were spinning and asked for advice dont be a cheap *** and buy some suspension for the car so you CAN HOOK UP and stop getting a pathetic 2.1 60ft time

I just put all new u/l tubular control arms on the rear if you'd read my original post, you would have seen that. I was however running 255/60/15 street tires. I know Drag radials would help.

what struts and shocks? is the car transferring weight? did you adjust your pinion angle? IC?

are you dumping the clutch and shocking the tires? slipping the clutch?

what "tubular upper and lower control arms"? There is more to suspension than upper and lower control arms

I am running new stock style Shocks and struts. I am running the summit brand upper and lowers. I did not adjust my pinion angle. I'm not dumping the clutch when I launch.
