I've had a fun time with my Spohn TA. I've managed to get a much nicer launch after I figured out the right pinion angle for my car. The rear end plants much better now. I now need to put on some adjustable shocks to really get the suspension dialed in.

The thing I like most about the Spohn TA is the front and rear loops. And yes, I've used both of them!!

Something is wrong with your setup. The trap speeds and 60' time are pretty bad. I was pulling 1.60's with a Vig3200 with a stock suspension and stock motor. I ran 11.70 @ 115 with a cam only. Do you have tuning at all?? What size valves are in your heads???
