Post Would v6 springs and bfg's help me?

I ran a 14.22@100.98 w/ a 2.43 60'
Do you think BFG drag radials would help? any advise on how to launch w/ them? also I hear different things about the v6 springs should I put in front ones or the rear ones or none at all? I can get a set for nothing

So with all those modds you ran a 14.2 in the quarter? I have a '96 Z and they are supposed to run 14.2's stock, is my car really that much faster than yours????

No most of it has to do with the 60 foot. Plus I am not the best driver in the world

Your 60 ft. times are terrible!!! I had this problem before i was running bad times and then slapped on some dr's and ran times that I was happy with. Practice your launch and get some dr's and times will improve.

Do the drag radials first. Don't worry about the springs yet. Just do one thing at a time. Drag radials, probably somewhere between 18-22 pounds in them, and get 20-30 passes under your belt. With your trap speed you should be down in the mid 13's.
