Default 1.65 60', no wheel hop, but....

I know I could leave harder if I didn't break traction.
I am on bone stock suspension, front swaybar is still in place.
When launching, my car squats hard, and leans quite a bit to the right, enough to where I have to tweek on the steering wheel to keep her on the straight and narrow.
I have not played with the tire pressure yet, [ MT dr's at 23psi ].
My consistancy isn't there either. 60' times vary from 1.65-1.71.
What do you guy's suggest?
I am going w/a slightly higher stall conveter this spring, [ 3600 ] and possibly upping my nitrous to a 125 shot.
I am thinking of a set of reloction brackets, maybe a set of lower control arms, and of course front swaybar delete.
Any help?

If your car is leaning, you could get a drag rear bar....or an adjustable rear bar if you plan on running on the street (or tweaking your preload).

An adj. torque arm would make a nice improvement. Then LCA's and relocation brackets.

Yeah. I am looking at drag bars now. I think that would help a lot to keep leaning to a minimum.

Yeah iam kinda in the same boat but have everything but a tq arm and a drag bar. I cut bottom 1.5 on the jug leaving at 6k. Tq arm will def help along with the drag bar.

A good anti-roll bar will fix the twisting issues you are having when the car launches, it will allow the car to leave nice and even and help out your 60ft quite a bit. I would also recommend taking the front sway bar off adding LCA's, LCA relocation brackets, and adjustable torque arm. If there is anything I can help you out with let me know.
