If you are spinning or getting wheel hop on your launch and poor weight transfer with your current setup then yes it can help keep your tires planted and improve your ET.

yea, even if you hook now, you will hook better with a good suspension. and if you spin alot now, it will help alot. i went from 1.9 to 1.7's. that .4 on average in the 1/4 on 12-13 sec cars.
i have BMR everything. stock shocks and sway bar with no air bag yet.

smokino1ta, what exactly do you have, I noticed your 12.2 time is that with suspension, I have a little more power than you did (370) but my times are 12.7 I have bfg's and no suspension work except for kenny brown double diamond connectors. Thanks.

yep 370 is more than i had then. i had lca's with brackets and torque arm.
it cut a best of a 1.78 with only 8 try's on a new setup. probably could have gotten down to 1.70's with some more practice. i also had some 4.10's and i shift really quick. could only launch at 2500 with traction. not bad imo.
now i have a bmr phr. and sfc's
