Default What can I do to get a better 60" and more traction??

ran yesterday and can only get a 1.9xx 60". hell, i am running the M&H 26x8.5x15" slicks, i should be cutting at least a 1.7 60". Best time was a 11.66 @132 mph. car is spinning from 1st to 3rd . I suspect it may be also spinning in 4th due to the fact that at the last 100ft i was at my rev limit (8800) ,could be wrong.set up is Hassports mounts and Tein RA Fr & Rear. any inpu would be welcome

maybe it was just horrible track prep, cause it doesn't really sound like ur doing anything wrong there. how much boost are u running out of the hole? and does it hook and then spin or just spin when you drop it?

the RA coilovers are 783front/559rear right?

it could very be bad track prep. dunno. running 17 psi out of the hole. it hooks for a very brief moment and then spins. not sure of the spring rates, but will check on that.
