is your torque arm adjustable? if so where is the adjustment currently at? if the removal of the lca relocation brackets seem to help, you may be able to dial it in by adjusting the arm.

Before consisted of stock rear sway bar, long adjustable TA, and LCA's with poly bushings. Now; drag sway bar, short tunnel mount TA, and LCA relo brackets. Both setups the TA set to -2 -3.

Well everything you changed was for the good.
The Arb will not permit body roll like a sway bar which will reduce 60' times.
The short torque arms are good for a radial tire car and will hit the tire harder.
You just need to get it working and you'll get your slip.you want

so it sounds like you need to help keep weight on the tires longer....adjustable shocks would help there as well as attempting to adjust instant center forward...what mounting hole (top or bottom) do you currently have the front of the TQ arm mounted in. I would suggest bottom hole for the tq arm and top hole for the LCA, and adjust from there. Set pre-load of the drag bar so the car is leaving level and straight

looked to me like the whole car lifted a bit after the launch, like the front brake locked or something..don't think so but had that look

So I went to the track without the LCA relo brackets and the car responded much better. The front end was lifting better and rear spinning less. Also, the 60 ft on average did not change at all. So the LCA relo brackets were definitely not needed in my combo.

good deal. what were your 60' times? did you still get some wheelspin? you may try some minor adjustments between passes on the torque arm angle and see if it likes it. but you are heading in the right direction for sure.

Average 60 was low 1.5's with a best of 1.50. We'll have to wait till next season for anymore adjusting. I still had some wheel spin but that was just pain cold weather and last day with minimal track prep.
