Default help me 60ft

Ok went to the track today and best i have got is a flat 1.9 60. I guess I'll start with mods.

umi drag bar - set neutral atm
umi short trq arm - set at what umi sent it (forget to buy the angle finder)
umi lca and relo - in lowest hole
comp engineering drag shocks - set on 50/50
front sway delete
9" with 4.11
hoosier qtp 26 x 9.50 16s on stock z28 rims
motor mods in sig

best pass was 19psi cold off the limiter at 6200

60- 1.9
1/8th- 8.484 84.4mph
1/4- 13.140 107.6mph
5900 da

after that dropped pressure to 14psi cold off the limiter at 6200. Damn timing system jipped me of my 60 ft. Also backed out of it as I kinda got scared at the floaty and wandering feeling of the low pressure slick. (First time ever on a slick)

60- IDK
1/8th- 8.426 82.37mph
1/4- 13.150 106.29mph
5900 da

I guess I need some pointers on order to adjust suspension or suggestions on where to go from here.

Played with the car again today and had some great results.

13psi cold
5000 launch

60- 1.781
1/8th- 8.232 84.82
1/4- 12.839 107.92

da- 5700

Any idea if adjusting anything can net a better 60 with a bolt on car. Its pretty much full weight with the exception of air, egr, spare tire/ jack, and a pin on sonoco.

The 12.80 was great. It just barely barked em off the line and hooked great.

The da is definately holding 1/4 back idk on 60 as im not a pro lol. All in all I was pretty happy with it. Was just curios about adjusting suspension to help squeeze some more time as I just bolted everything on basically lol
