Default Ways to get a better launch?

I went to the track to day i could not cut a 60 ft. for nothing i ran a 11.84 at 115 with a 1.85 60 ft. The car is not sqwating in the rear at all and the front end is not jumping. The mods are in sig. The launch was on a set of stock ta rims with et streets at 12 psi. I was thanking of rear swaybar but i dont thank it will help it prevents body roll but it does not roll to the passanger side at all. What to get? I would like to be cutting some 1.6 60 ft. Could i have the torque arm adjusted wrong? It is set to -2

see sig.. i ran 21psi in mine cam only and went 11.5's with a 1.56.... 1.55 best that day
all my suspension is stock except for the LCA's and SFC's... sway bar is still on also

what RPMS are you leaving at?? You should be in the 1.5-6's easy with your mods! Maybe that track just sucks!

Its all in the track prep. The track sucked that day.
