what else to get to cut 60 ft time
well with my relo brackets on the lowest setting and running 17" BFG's I am spinning.
What would be better V6 springs or a torque arm? I have decent power and my stall is a 3800 with a 2.7 str. Think I should go with a different verter with a lighter str so it doesn't whack the tires so hard?

Hope that helps!

Theres only one set of 3-hole brackets on the market....Mine. Everyone else is 2 hole.
I dont sell mine with out installation because too many people make the easiest mistakes on installing them and welding them in place incorrectly.

maybe yours are different.
I personally don't have any and with NON adjustable LCA's have cut low 1.4X 60's on motor and consistantly cut mid 1.4X's.
here's my view on this... the guy has a basically stock car looking to cut better 60' times. so for him, he doesn't need to go adjustable shocks/springs all the way around, or big rear sway bar, or anything like that. for his car, i'd say the first things to do would be to put some drag radials on it, and get a torque converter........... if he wants to take weight out of the car then he can, if he wants to remove the front sway bar to get it to hook up better he can. those are both free mods to get 60' down, however they do hurt daily driving somewhat.
my vote goes to good tires and a torque converter.

I have good tires and good converter and relo brackets and lca's and having trouble hooking. Maybe cause I'm making more power now..
Again I'll ask, should I do v6 springs or hal's or torque arm next?

et streets suck.
my drag radials have afforded me a 1.60 and they're a hell of a lot better than nittos.
but you are right they aren't a mickey thompson drag radial. when i use these up i'll go with those.
these tires are sticky and there's no reason I shouldn't be able to at least decently hook on them .

Im sure your chassis guy that you respect knows that instant center is also important in getting a car to bite. Thats all relocation brackets do. They dont change pinion angle at all.
Ladder bar cars are similar to torque arm cars.
my car consists of a stock unmodified torque arm, my relocation brackets, Wolfe double adjustable chromoly LCA's and a Wolfe Drag bar. I have a yank T400 X-member for the trans. I have a stock panhard rod, with eibach lowering kit all around and the original hal shocks and springs. Front springs are also pro kit.
