Improving 60' times, third gen f-body

I would say more gear (4.33) and convertor(around 5000 stall). A good set of front struts from fastshocks.com. Definitely stick with the radial (go with 29x9 30x9 on 10" wheel or 30x10.5 on 12 inch wheel). I always find radial more consistent. S and w has a nice anti roll bar setup. On my firebird, I have stock rear suspension single adjustable shocks s and w torque arm and frame connectors and anti roll bar. I have been 1.21 60ft going mid 9s with 30x9 Goodyear tires. Remove weight off front and run with 100-150 lbs in trunk.

Agree with most of what has been said.
And Yes, you Need way way way more gear, and more converter for sure.
