Default What else can I do?

60' - 2.193
1/8 - 8.463
MPH - 89.94
1/4 - 12.708
MPH - 120.64

60' - 2.196
1/8 - 8.465
MPH - 90.51
1/4 - 12.699
MPH - 118.35

My mods include the basic STS kit w/ FMIC at 8# on brand new nitto 555r's. On my runs I have everywhere from a 2.16 60' to a 2.32 60'. What are some things that I can look into (including driving style, because I'm not saying I'm a pro at this) to get my 60' times down. Everyone told me that on DR's I should look to get a 1.8ish 60'.

I continually stall the car up to roughly 2000rpms and let it sit there just shy of breaking away and let off the brake while applying an equal an opposite amount of power from my right foot. Is there any suspension parts that I can look into? I'd expect these times out of stock cars, not mine.

Can anyone help?

If you don't have them, you needed lower control arms, torque arm, panhard bar and drag shocks to plant the car to the pavement.

Get a stall buddy. How many times do we have to go over this?
