Please analyze my video .... By what you see from my launch, what can i do to my suspension to help me get my 60 ft. down......only suspension done is adj. torque arm, LCA's
first time running an 11
first time running an 11 looked like you spun a little bit off the line. what 60 ft time did you cut? try playing with the air pressure in the tires some, making sure to keep notes on what works and what doesnt. how many degrees was the torque arm set at? and what shocks are you running out back? its really a trial and error thing thats why i say keep notes on the changes you make.
i suggest keeping it simple, relo the battery to the spare tire well, drop the stock overflow tank in favor of a small 1 quart(DOT and NHRA legal) overflow, and get some LCA relo brackets installed(weld ins are better).
if you want to go all out, get and adjustable panhard and center/square the rear to be sure the suspension is working for you 100%.

If you have already done all that you can with what is on the car now, (tire psi, pinion angle, launch technique, etc.), I would consider adjustable shocks on all four corners. Help you plant the tire better and keep the weight where you want it.
If possible, try to get a vid from behind and to the side of the car so that you can see the tire all the way to the ground.

Sorry guys, i do have LCA relocation brackets welded in, i was launching at around 4500 , the best 60 ft. i pulled off was a 1.65.....I think im going to svae for some either QA1's or strange drag shocks front/rear, i know that will help me more than anything.......As far as the torque arm, i have it set at -2 degrees

Looks like maybe stiffening the rear shock would help.
What anti roll bar do you have?
What size and type of tire were you running?
The motor bogged some, I would try leaving at a higher rpm, 5500-6000.
Don't change a lot of stuff at once, I'd get the adjustable shocks and work on the tire pressure and launch rpm.

What is your 60' time ? 1.65
Front Sway bar removed?
What are you launching at? 4500
Tires, pressure?
lca relocation brackets? Y
Rear tires are?
I would do front and rear drag shocks. If you were auto you could just do front shocks but since you are M6 you need to do rears to since you might need to stiffen them up to mitigate wheel hop. I suggest QA1 shocks I think they are the cheapest. And it did sound like you bogged a bit.

At the moment im running a 26 " Hoosier QTP on the rear, no drag bar yet im actually in the market for one, but i thionk i am going to try one thing at a time instead of doing everything at once
1st thing I would do is stiffen the rear shocks, and get the tire pressure right and leave at higher RPM.
Do that before you spend a lot of money on parts.
Also get a log book and record all the settings for each run, tire pressure, which lane, what rpm you leave and shift at, shock settings, anything you can think of.
