Default 60ft times

So...when I had stock rims and tires and 2.73 gears I got around 1.93-1.98 60ft times..

Now I have 3.73 gears and 17x11 wheels and BFG drag radials and have gotten the exact same 60ft times.

In addition to the 17x11 wheels I also lowered my car using Eibach Sportlines with LCA relocation brackets and adjustable panhard bar.

I know the Sportlines and 17x11 wheels didn't help the situation... I am launching off idle. Of course a higher stall converter would help...but I just don't want to make that leap right now.

Would a new torque arm and lower control arms help drop my 60ft times?

Hello, yes they will help your situation. What hole in the relocation bracket do you have the lca's? What air pressure do you have in the tires? Is the car spinning more now than before? We have one of the best tech departments in the business. Give us a call and we will help you get your car straightened out. We are in the office Mon-Fri till 6pm est.

I doubt you are spinning the bfg drag radials unless track prep is non existant. Just curious, I know you said you didnt want a different converter, but why? Would be a lot easier to get 60' times down.

I think I have the LCAs in the bottom hole...tire pressure was around 25 and the car doesn't seem to spin too bad....like I said...same 60ft times as 2.73 gears...so I must be spinning a little more with the 3.73s??

That PSI seems high, try 18-20.
