Default Need more launch...

Looking for some seasoned LS1 racers to help me with my set up. My best 60 ft. with this car to date has been a 1.746

Susp. mods are: BMR tubular LCA's - poly busings, BMR non-adj. PH bar w/ poly bushings, BMR adj. TQ arm set at -3*, QA1 rear shocks set on 4, fatter rear sway bar, right rear air bag w/ about 9 psi in it, !front sway bar. I have a SY 3500 conveter and all bolt ons. I usually load my conveter to 2K RPM at the line and stab it on the last yellow. I run on M/T P255/50-16 drag radials set around 17-18 psi. I do a 5-7 second burn out usually just enough to clean them off.

I just installed some BMR-style tubular SFC's yesterday, and am putting in QA1 front struts w/ 275# drag spings this Tuesday. I'm going to try the fronts set on 2 to start off.

Are my rear shock settings too tight? Is the air bag hurting me? Anything else I should try? I'm not sure which direction to go right now. This car is my daily driver and I don't want to do anything to make my car ride harrsher like spherical ended LCA's or PH rod. I don't plan on changing my converter or gears either. It just seems like I should be able to 60' a little better with what I've got.

Thanks in advance.
