60 foot after roll bar

Ok I was pulling 1.5 60 foots non stop before I put my 6 point in. Now the best I pulled was a 1.7. I cant get any better. Ive changed the convetor from a 3500 to a 3800 trying to help. I took the lower springs off. I ran a 7.18 at 102mph at a 11.18 at 124mph. with a 1.7. I want my 1.5 back. Anyone else have this problem? I guess I need a set of skinnies. Any other suggestions?

How much did the bar add in weight?
Also, did upping the stall speed over shoot the 'good part' of the power band?

My 6-point added maybe 80lbs but my 60's really did not suffer.
Are you sure your tires still in good shape?
I know the first sign of them going bad is that you start to loose grip and the 60's gradually start to increase.

The skinnies will help, it will help get the car going plus help on the transfer of weight during the launch.

Maybe it just was a bad track prep day.
