Default low 10's on stock LCA's

Anybody here done it? My car still has the stockers and I just installed the noszle system in hopes of seeing low 10's. I run a 28 inch et drag and the car 60' best is 1.51 currently. I have a bmr torque arm...thats it for suspension currently.

Thanks in advance,
Conrad

Good tires & track and weight off the nose is one of the biggest factors. The other stuff helps, but bang for the buck is not always there. If on a tight budget, I'd got with adjustable coilovers like HAL / QA1's up front before LCA's, etc. Good luck and take care.

Ahh, no feathers ruffled. Just thought I'd stir the conversation a bit.

If I believed every bad thing I've ever heard about aftermarket parts, my car would still be stock!
