Help me make my 60ft time better..

I have a 1994 z28 with some power to it. 383ci + 200hp of No2


I have LCA and that is pretty much it. The slicks i'm using are a 9.5 x 26.
the car is going about 1.79's to 1.85 in the 60ft

what tire size should i be using and also what is the best bang for the buck with aftermaket drag lauch stuff?

What suspension are you running if any? The QA1's seem to be the choice of the drag based street cars.

Softer Shocks, Relocation brackets will be a big help for you. Some people replace the torque arm as well. Have you tried disconnecting your Swaybar? Your 60' time isn't too bad! In the wheels and tires section i think there were some good posts on how big a wheel you can go. Experiment with different PSI as well!

Also what rear gears are u running? From your sig it looks like you are running a 9in so my guess is that it wont be the weak link

I have no swaybar and i really cant do anything about the torque arm because i'm running true duals..
In the rearend I'm running 4.10s and I have a twin disc aswell..
I have a full roll cage 8point so would subframes help?

i've got duals dumped on mine and i run a spohn chassis mounted torque arm for long tubes....pass side goes through the dip in crossmember and driver side goes under....definately a lot less ground clearance on driver side, but if you just drive it like its lowered i think i've only scraped it once

There are aftermarket torque arms that mount to the tranny tailshaft as your stock one does, but also have an adjustability feature allowing you to adjust the pinion angle.
