Question How to drop thos 60ft times?

I'm currentlly getting average 2.140-2.150 60ft times...

I want to drop into the 2.0's for sure, what things can I do EXCEPT tires...

Relocation Brackets / Lower Control Arms?
Torque Arm?
Sub Frame Connectors?

Whats the best bang for the buck for traction and lower 60fts.

You can do all of the above but the bottom line is that a decent set of tires is where the rubber meets the road. I know you don't want to hear it, but if the track is well prepped and you have decent tires, you can delay buying the chassis mods until you get some serious power.

I do have drag springs and front shocks, and an airbag in the back, and no front sway bar, but I also have good tires so 1.5-1.6 sixty foot times happen.

I would say that the LCA's and brackets would help the most. But as mentioned you need some sticky tires. Nitto DR's or ET Streets.

Yep ... tires. They sure make you consistant too. I remember reading a great article about drag racing. The writer said, if you drag race, your tires should wrinkle ... otherwise you just playing.

Since youre an auto a good converter (say 2800 to 3000) and some sticky tires will put you in the sub 2.0 60 foot range easily.
