If you're experiencing wheel hop due to axle wrap on the
burnouts or launches, rear spring clamps will help minimize
this a lot and will help with your 60' times. I have them
on mine (have not unclamped the back portion though)
and they have stopped wheel hop and sideway launches
for me. I have a 3000 (flash) stall converter so when I
launch it is with torque that I put out at around 3000 rpm.
HTH.
