What tires did you go with this time?
Other then BMR LCA's, anything else?
What PSI on said tires.
What Launch RPM.
And were burnouts done with the help on Line lock or did you foot brake it?

just sub frame connectors and lca's, i was running 16 psi on a set of mickey thompson radials and launching at about 3500 ish. i have a linelock kit and i did some nice 7 second burnout but the tires just wouldn't hook, i think it was the way i was launching, i ended up slipping the clutch the last run and got the 11.9

Also some long burnouts will help too.
If you have M/T ET radials, they are a hell of a tire. I make stockish power and I couldnt get mine to hook even with a Adjustible TQ arm and relocation brackets until I did a proper burn out. I did a 5000 rpm clutch dump and it dead hooked to a 1.82 with making like I said stock power + whats in the sig and running on a stock/unmodded tune. If I went off the limiter, it prob would have ran a 1.7X
The last thing to think about is the quality of track, the track temp and if ricers are dragging water off of the box, those dont help either. When you burn out, its ok to spin for a split second in the box and roll to the burn out pad, do the burnout and roll out and you should feel the tire BARK and grab hard.

Nice,even with the stock heads. I guess you figured out the coil code?
As for 60's just keep practising.They will get better and so will the times.No need for suspension stuff till you can feel what the car is doing,then control it.
FYI-I ran 1.80 60's with my stock Firehawk tires.No need to mask driving yet with a slew of suspension and tires.6 speeds take finess.

i will actually be calling you probally tommrow about some things i would like to have done until i read one of your other posts. I havent been driving it a ton, my bike either. it sucks. 
Nice time man... Congrats on joining the 11 Second Club. Hopefully my stay in the 11's will end this upcoming Sunday.
Don's got a damn good point there. My GTO is on all stock suspension with a simple addition of drag bags! Tire choice plays a big role too unless you like to learn the specific launch with what you have, (ditch the Automatic made tires for some real slicks). Watching the video footage I can gather what the car needs to go quicker as well as the feel while driving... Next year is going to be DAMN FUN!!!
Actually it's called learning how do drive a car.Too many people use parts to make up for there driving.
