Suggested Mods for Better 60' Times

SleeperGT · 10-07-2002, 10:32 AM

Looking for suggested non-motor mods to improve my 60' times. Right now I run very consistently 2.0 60' times, with an occassional 1.9. I run with BF Goodrich Drag Radial (275's on 9"x17" wheels). The only suspension mod I currently have is Steeda Lower Control Arms. I'd love to be very consistent at 1.8's. Is my current setup capable of this and I just need to develop a better launch technique and practice more? I currently don't use too much clutch at launch. Suggestions are appreciated.

If you are willing to compromise handling some you could get drag springs and shocks/struts. Also, removing the front sway bar helps weight transfer off the line (don't drive it without that on the street, though). Another good way is to remove weight from the front of the car - fiberglass hood, battery relocation to the trunk, tubular K-member and arms, coilovers...
