Default 60's suck need help

I dont no what is going on last time i went to the track my car went 11.43 @118.84 with a 1.657 60ft, since then i took 200lbs off the front end checked the ta angle it was at -.5 so i adjusted it to -3 and went back to the track the best pass of the night was a 11.463 @117.15 with a 1.62 60ft my car was blowing the tires up all night i had to set my shocks at 1 in the back just so it would hook(thats not right) im gonna go back to the track in the next couple days any imput would help thanks. I thought it should be goning 11.20's with the same shitty 60ft
Just went on bmr website and for the x-trem sway bar it says(An equal setting on both sides will allow the sway bar to function very much like the factory sway bar. For track use, the end links can be pre loaded on either side to help tune the chassis for straighter launches)

I ran a 150 shot on a heads and cam car and it absolutely loved it even with a 4000 stall, it won't stall too high trust me!
