60ft is pretty good. Pull some weight out of it. Get a real ram air, fast intake and Tb, big lid and get rid of the MAF and spin it to 7k. The car would pick up a bunch

Also here is a pic of the launch. Wondering what there is to be had in the suspension settings
qa1s in the front set tight no sway bar
Rear control arms in bottom hole of reloc brackets
Midwest torque arm in I believe 1st hole from the bottom
Agx shocks in the rear set on 4
16-17 psi in tires
qa1s in the front set tight no sway bar

I think your pretty good on suspension settings. Do you have an ARB, car looks like its leaving pretty straight. I'm also surprised the front end is coming up that much if the front shocks are on full tight. My best advice is to buy a used plate kit and go low 6's for pretty cheap 😎

It does have the BMR extreme sway bar. I'm a bit confused on the front shocks as well...don't know if they are wore out or have more clicks to go. It doesn't bounce coming down or keep bouncing like you'll see cars do but does rise very quickly

I threw some AFCO's on all for corners, made a call to Madman for some setting, and it went from a 1.46 to 1.34 60'

IMHO, that is a good thing as far as weight transfer. As long as it doesn't come down fast and unload the tires or hit the tires too hard and they basketball.

I don't know off the top of my head. I'll have to look in my book. Madman gave me some settings over the phone and it worked. He wants the car to pull the tires an inch or so, no more, and that's what it does. My old shocks (QA1 in rear, Strange front) weren't adjustable enough to stop the unloading. It would hook, pull tires 8-10", fall down and spin 
. The AFCO's cured all that.

Have you played with tire pressure? You want to run as much as you can before it effects hooking. I went from 17lbs to 20lbs and picked up .12 and 1mph. Also, tighten your front shocks until it effects 60’. You want to go forward, not up. A front end that rises too fast can unload the rear tires.

Get some weight out as others have said. I knew from looking at the photo you would say QA1s are on the front. That is OK and no need to change. What I would do is limit the travel to no more then 4 inches. With that much travel I bet the front tires are turning in for at least the first 30 to 40 feet snowplowing down the track. Going forward and less up in the air is always GOOD.
Good luck and be safe!!

Like ragtop said if it’s not slamming down and your tires aren’t blowing off after some wheel lift don’t mess with it based on your mods mentioned and weight I don’t think you have much left to play with in suspension. I’d send those heads out for some port work maybe some other tweaks here an there .
oh I wanted to ask, did you buy the car already modded or similiar to what it is now?
12/17 edit: i keep looking at your cam spec and have to ask, do You have the lift for intake and exhaust typed backwards? pretty close grind to some popular cams out there if it was.
