Default Is it possible to get a good 60' w/ Pro kit?

I have the pro kit on my car and it seems to be killing my 60' If I ran the Hal shock would it help?

Thanks.

Jim

Prokit user here. With no other suspension mods other then the Prokit springs and BMR LCAs I was cutting consistent 1.58-1.65 60's on ET Drags. My power mods at the time were TR224 cam, stock heads, 4.10 gears, bolt ons, 6-speed.

If anything, it seemed to help with traction. I do not have a adjustable T/A or LCA brackets, so my pinion angle is at whatever it would be with the drop. It seems to be OK so I am not changing it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

1.74 is current best launching fairly 'easy' on SY3500 with 3.73's, 12 bolt, TR224 cam, ASP Pulley, Nittos, KBDDSFC's, Hotchkis PHR and LCA's, LCA relocation kit, Eibach Pro Kit, and weighing in at around 3700ish.

Thanks. I was able to squeak out a 1.69 on my new Et Streets last time I was at the track. The prep at our track seems to be getting worse so I guess I will take what I can get. I figure I will try a air bag in the rear and see if that helps any.
