Whats Next? Just looking for some advice to head in the right direction to get some quicker times and lower 60fts.
-Cam only
-Built 4l60e, 4000 stall
-9'' w/ 4.22's posi
-lca's
-relo brackets
-stock springs and shocks in front and rear
-stock sway bar in rear and no sway bar up front
-stock phb
-front bumper support removed
-a/c removed
-28'' Hoosiers on 15'' Streetlites
Im not sure what car weighs and car is around 425 hp N/A
N/A passes
Car has ran a 7.3 with 1.53 60ft at Sikeston, MO
Car ran a 11.6 with 1.56 60ft at Indy in October at LSX shootout
So whats next?
-drag bar? UMI, BMR, Spohn, or Madman
-qa1's, SA or DA?
-stock springs in rear?
-275, 300, or 315lb spring in front?
-non-adjustable phb?

If you aren't spinning then changing anything besides power won't help your 60ft. You didn't imply that you were having traction issues.
Seems like I see a lot of guys doing springs as one of the first mods for traction.

This is not true. You can hooking, but not transferring weight properly. There can be a lot of ET gained by transferring weight better. in my experience, most of this ET is actually gained between 60'-330' so some people may not even notice the gain because the 60' time did not improve.

Verdad Gallardo Not saying his gains aren't true but I would not expect .4 from 240#s. The general rule is .1 for 100lbs. The is not shown consistant in what I have seen. Point being pull weight out, it is cheap/free typicaly drops your times, just don't hold tight to any formula.
Pull as much weight as you possibly can, spend some money on lightweight front end suspension. Don't order springs till you know how heavy it will be, I made the mistake of buying 300/lb springs and SA shocks in the front, may end up selling it for a DA 275/lb set up. Not sure but I think panhard won't help but to center the rear for a drag set up.
susp is key. I think a good set of shocks and the antiroll bar would be a great way to go. I do have a antiroll bar that I did not use. Needs some hardware, HMU if your interested
