help improve 60 foots
 
Okay, Ive read alot of threads on traction, etc. I believe that I should get some better suspension, but Id like to hear some input on if my 60's are any good for what I got, and what you think I could use to improve mine forsure. Mods and times are in my signature, and this was without the soon to be installed mods, and as I had said, no tunning, and I didnt mention, my stock rubber torque arm bushing is disintegrated allowing the arm to smack all over the place. So anyone here who's added things, or done things to improve 60's similar to mine, please chime in, Thanks.

Decent, but should be more in the 1.6x range at least. Fix the TQ arm mount, get some LCA and SFC's, QA1 shocks and go for 1.5x's!

Thats what was kind of upsetting, was that I added all those power adders and SFC's, and my 60's got worse instead of better. But I'll assume that a) im making more power so its harder to stick it to the ground, and b) the torque arm bushing is destroyed now. So I will look into LCA's and shocks after I fix the bushing with a poly one, and ya, Id like the 1.6x range. Thanks

the pinion angle is critical, you want neg 2. If the bushing is shot your pinion angle is all over the place. They sell a poly mount, or pop for an adjustable.

I already have a poly replacement in the trunk, just waitin to get started on. I would LOVE an adjustable aftermaret TQ arm, but I dont think thats in the cards for this year. Thanks!
