Default help me lower my 60'

as of right now the z has cut a best 60' of 1.61' but on average its around a 1.65

Its a bolton only car with a ss3600 and 3.73.suspension mods as of right now consist of

qa1 r series in front(shocks)
qa1 single adj in rear(shocks)
eibach prokit springs in rear
no front swaybar
bmr adj lca
umi relocation brackets mounted on third hole
255/5016/mt dr on 22psi
I get the best 60' flashing the converter or stall to about 1,000 to take alittle shock out of the rearend.stock 10 bolt with 3.73

I usually set the fronts at 2 and the rears at 6.the car feels like it does not spin,just hooks and goes straight down the track.I am not going to change the tires right now I want to keep the snowflakes on to look like a real street car.what can I adjust or buy to help get the 60' down to about a 1.55'

I'd tell you, but I'm content with where you are in regards to the stock internal list

Have you tried loading up on the convertor? Is the car squating on the launch?

I would go with the torque arm if the car isn't twisting up on the launch. Next time you think about it, go to the back of the car and see how soft the rear suspension is. I keep mine fairly stiff. I want all energy spent to go foward, and not squat at all.

We have about the same set up but I haven't touched my suspension as of yet. My best 60' s are when I leave at 2300. I am using a 2 step and tried to run it up higher but got worse results
