my car 60 foots around 1.65 would caltracs help me out or make it worse?

Still running a 318 2 barrel? If so, I'd spend the money somewhere else...if you're eventually going to step up to a 340 then you could go ahead and get them now but realize you won't pick up much if any. Have you optimized your converter, cam, etc?

I run Caltraks on anything fast than 1.7 60Ft. They save a lot of weight
and are much forgiving of cold or slippery track conditions. They add
some tuning ability that stock style stuff does not have available.

Are you spinning the tires now? If not don't expect much difference.

they will most definately improve your performance and traction we have them as well as the F and R shocks in stock for your application. ask ron sebeniek how much the 90/10 shocks alone improved his performance on a R/SA car? a really GOOD P/SA car like Beth's will 60foot high 150's to 1.60.
