Improving 60' times, third gen f-body

You might ask some fast Stocker guys. I never put those things on my car. I think they are just wrong. I see kids using those on ls1toke.com.
When I was bracket racing my car on 9" tires, I could hardly keep it off the back bumper on a good track. Ran mid-high nines that way. Usually 1.30-1.32 in 60'.
I used PeteZ bars then. Had too much tire-body separation, but I lived with it until I bit the bullet and had Eastexas Racecars work their magic.
I have had QA1 front shocks, could not get them ajusted stiff enough either direction. Never stopped bouncing on landings. Then went to AFCO fronts, still not enough adjustment either way. Finally bought a set of Santuff shocks. Some of the best money I ever spent. I can make it stand straight up, or barely carry them off the ground by just adjusting the front shocks. No more bouncing on landings either.
