Suspension help for a car that already hooks?
Question; I'm running a '01 formula, 3,600 vig.w/built trans, 3.73s, stock motor (no headers) w/lid/pulley, magnaflow muffler, adj. torque arm w/3 degree pinion angle, Qa1s on back set on 3, lower control arms and M/T drag radials w/20lbs, stock front susp.
Car 60's @ 1.57 but E.T. is 12.02 @111.75. I launch at 2,000 rpm. Why aren't I in the 11s?

Try removing the front swaybar if you havent already it may give you that .03 you need for an 11.99
If that doesn't work a nice set of headers will bump you solidly into the 11.9 range
My car is at full weight that is one of my challenges as i wanted to hit 11.99 with full weight and stock motor. I will try 1,500 instead of 2,000 maybe it will give me more flash. Thanks for the tips.
What rims are you running? If you have stock tires up front, running a set of 15's up front with skinnies will put you in the 11's easy.
I was saying I would do front and rear shocks, stock springs, and a beefy rear swaybar like the BMR drag bar. You might get into the high 11.1's and then you need a little more converter or a little more power or weight reduction etc.
I think a 1.50 for example is possible, I went 1.50 with 26's, shocks, 450rwhp, 4.10's, 3600 raceweight back in 2001.
