Drag suspension

working on a budget. My main goal is to run 12.0 all-motor (right now i'm running 12.4). Currently my 60' is 1.75, I am hoping to lower that to 1.6x.

Only suspension mod is lca, and I am running nitto 555 drs

My current power is 315 rwhp and 325 rwtq, would drag shocks and springs benefit me or what?

Basically Im trying to do all I can without the spray, and then get back on the bottle.

Thanks,

Pride

What stall do you have, ie who made it?
What gears you got?
Removing un needed weight helps a ton!!! and makes it easier on parts.

I think I pmed you the other day....but I have stock gears (scared of shreading the teeth), and the stall converter is 3000 (performabuilt...came with the tranny I built from them).

I just wondering if I have maxed out the 60' with the amount of hp, gear, and stall I have...or if I can do anything else?

As far as weight reduction....not alot more I can do. Pulled the back seat and rearseat belts, manul door locks and windows, hard-top, pulled spare and jack, cloth seats, no floor mats...every thing else I know of takes away from safety and comfort like bumpers supports and ac

Any more Ideas...besides draglites

Autos are much easier on the gears than a 6spd is, minimum 3.73s but I would ge 4.10s.
