Getting the 60fts down.

My car is doing some bouncing up and down when leaving the line hard and I think its hurting my 60fts. Will an aftermarket torque arm help this? I have tubular lwr control arms, panhard rod, new bilsteins, BMR TQ arm relocation brkt with the stock torque arm. The converter is a yank ss3600 and the tires are MT ET street radials 295/50R16.

Best 60ft time is in this video, 1.65 and you can see it doing the bouncing, didnt really feel like wheel hop when it launches.

Are you still running a front sway bar? Running 18#s in the back?

Need better shocks, more weight transfer to the back.

Stock front sway bar, bilstein shocks all around, 17 psi in the rear tires.

with that much power I think a adjustable torque arm would help.I think you need better springs and adjustable shocks .remove the front sway bar and get a bigger rear sway bar.
