My best 60' to date is a 1.42 with a Spohn #405 torque arm, Spohn 25mm bolt-in anti-sway, Comp Eng rear shocks at 50/50 with stock SS springs, HAL R series front shocks set at 4 with stock springs, and 28X10 Goodyear slicks at 16lbs cold/18lbs hot.
I don't have a K-member or A-arms yet. Best launch seems to be at 6200rpm on the bottle. With a little more suspension work I think 1.3x 60' time would be possible. T
he front shocks were probably the best mod to help the car hook. The R series will set you back a bit more than the standard 12-way adjustable, but are a lot cheaper than the afco's. Summit has the cheapest price on the R series that I have seen.

Stock springs on all four
HAL's in the back, stock shocks up front
BMR non-adj LCA's and adj PHR
Spohn rear drag bar (the big one)
I'm going to get a Spohn tq arm and probably HAL's up front. What else do I need to maximize the setup? Air bags? Front Drag springs? What's a good investment, what's a waste of time?

What do you have for a motor? Power and clutch play a BIG role in getting the 60' in a 6-speed even if the suspension is on the money.

Alan you've built some pretty sweet six-speeds, maybe I should just mirror your setup.
