Default Can't seem to get a good 60' out of it.

I have a Heads and Cam camaro.

The car would go a 1.6x on a 275 nitto.


I put slicks and skinnies on it. it's on a 10.5 tire.


Car has full susp.

Strange shocks all around.

I set the fronts on 2 and the rears on 5.
Car has relocation brackets, lower control arms, Aftermarket torque arm set at -2*.


Stock trans and rear, 3.73 gear and Vig 4000 stall.


Like i said, last time i went to the track on stock rims and 275" nittos. Car went a 1.6x 60'


I put the torque arm in, lighters rims, slicks, put a cutout on it, pulled at least 100 pounds out of it.

went back to the track and it went the same 60'.



Any idea to help get it going faster?


Not really looking to regear it or put a nwe stall in.


Car doesn't spin at all, front tries don't really come off the ground, it just goes.

What is your 'leave' technique? Do you torque brake at the line or just flash the converter (Idle, then stomp the gas on the last yellow)?
Also, is your front sway bar still attached? If it is, at least undo the links if not completely remove for the drag strip anyway.

Any kind of anti roll bar in the back? I went from low low 1.6's and high 1.5's to low 1.4's just by changing that and getting the car scaled. Best 60' so far is 1.34 off the footbrake.
