Default Getting the 60fts down.

My car is doing some bouncing up and down when leaving the line hard and I think its hurting my 60fts. Will an aftermarket torque arm help this? I have tubular lwr control arms, panhard rod, new bilsteins, BMR TQ arm relocation brkt with the stock torque arm. The converter is a yank ss3600 and the tires are MT ET street radials 295/50R16.

Best 60ft time is in this video, 1.65 and you can see it doing the bouncing, didnt really feel like wheel hop when it launches.

Are you still running a front sway bar? Running 18#s in the back?

Need better shocks, more weight transfer to the back.

Stock front sway bar, bilstein shocks all around, 17 psi in the rear tires.

Next time at the track until you can afford new shocks try removing the sway bar up front. It helps transfer weight better.

with that much power I think a adjustable torque arm would help.I think you need better springs and adjustable shocks .remove the front sway bar and get a bigger rear sway bar.
