All that stuff is sitting under my TV to remind my lazy ass that I need to install those things. lol. Your cars are fast because (i'm guessing) you have your suspension set up properly. I can't explain the 60 foot times though. All my buddies that are running well into the 11's are pulling 1.5x 60 footers.

I leave at around 5,500 and shift it at around 5,200. My car weighs around 3,400 with my narrow ass in it. It's a full interior car and the only things I've deleted were the AC stuff and the front bumper/fog light bar.
The Chevelle has stock suspension except for 90/10 shocks in the front and tubular upper and lowers in the rear with adjustable shocks. The front has the stiff big block springs, just with a coil and a half cut off them and the 90/10 shocks are about 18 years old. It also still has the stock 1969 axles in the 12 bolt just with c-clip eliminators.

The Cobra has the Maximum Road & Track Box which is why the times are a little slow for the mph. If I had a drag oriented suspension it would run quicker.
