Default How do my times look??

I've been working on getting my times down for a few weeks now, and this week i finally had some good results. I'm not 100% sure what the car weights because i haven't been to any scales, but i took a lot of weight out this week.

For my mods i have a stock 98 bottom end, stock mild hand ported heads, hot cam, fast 78, ported stock throttle body, and upgraded non adjustable rocker arms, pacesetter longtubes, and texas speed true duals. Car has a turbo 350 and a 3500 stall and 3.42 gears, Suspension i have non adjustable lca's, lca relocation mounts, and a bmr full length adjustable torque arm, and of course bmr cross memeber for the transmission so the mount is off of it.

Last night on motor i ran
60' 1.62
330' 4.77
1/8 7.41
mph 93.54

I sprayed a 100 wet shot and spun a little out of the hole and ran
60' 1.67
330' 4.59
1/8 7.03
mph 100.89

I know i can dip into the high 6's with that 100 shot and i would like to do that before i jump up to the 150 shot. What suspension parts should i invest in first??

27 10.50 15 et streets, and I'm pretty sure the torque arm is set wrong, I've been reading the nose of the rear end should point down 2 degrees, mine points up 2 degrees, this could be part of my 60ft problem.

Default Update

Well i added new strange coil overs to the car and changed it out to a manual steering rack and dropped my motor time down to 7.29 @ 94.50 MPH. I think i still have some more room to go just have to keep making adjustments.

Yea your rear should be -2 degrees not +2 degrees so yes that will help w / your 60ft.
