Default how much should i gain in et??

i got a 01 ta mods in sig, pretty much stock suspension with the exception of lca's and comp 3way shocks. doesn't hook for ****! so, this winter im gonna do the suspension up. on the list is pandard bar,sfc's,torque arm, and a set of strange sa front struts and springs. and im gonna pull the front sway bar also. i am curious as to what this will do for reducing et. and also any suggestions on how to get it to hook would be great!

It depends on how bad you are spinning now. What are your 60' times and ETs now?

dont have any times with the setup,track closed last year. but as a bolt on car(headers,exhaust,lid,maf,lca's and nitto 555 radials) the best was 2.06. i've tried different psi in tires down to 12 psi,flashing the stall, foot braking up to 2600, it just blows the tires off.

ditch the nittos for track use and get mickeys or hoosiers , nitto is great to be able to daily in rain , have tread last etc... but they arent great at the track

I cut 1.62 on nitto nt05rs this year. Secret is 17-18 psi and a ten second burnout!

Hoosier drag radial 275/50/15 I have never spun them at the track. Very small burn out at 20psi and I cut 1.5 every time, that on Koni shocks and Strano springs too. I also have LCA, brackets and MWC torque arm.
