If the stock suspension track record could be broken on the BRAND NEW surface, the track is just fine.

Then explain this slip, it is my best to date and it was on 16.5 lbs of boost and touching the rev limiter for a split second on the 1-2 shift. Without hitting the limiter I am pretty sure it would have gone a 5.99 - 5.90. and without needing 120 mph.. Maybe 115-116.
Pretty sure a 114.xx is not good enough for a 5.9x unless you could get into the low 1.3's high 1.2's 60ft and that is not happening with my car. The slip below was a damn near perfect run after doing some math. I left liitle on the table with this one. But I pretty sure a 115-116 will get a 5.9x.

The car was hooking, now it is not.
One of a few things are going on here.
The drag radials I run are toast ( 14 passes on them ).
I have a bad shock(s) because they are no way intended for what I am loading on them.
I have exceeded said shocks ability to work and need to upgrade. (most likely)
Some component in my suspension is out of whack ( control arm out of adjustment, etc.) and I am going to go looking for that this weekend.
I also might need to install the anti-roll bar I got from Wolfe but the car is tracking perfectly straight and a anti roll bar is typically used to correct this problem.
My suspension components are as follows.
Rear Suspension:
Factory 8.8 Rear End Housing
31 Spline Moser Axles with C-Clip Eliminators
SVO Center Girdle
Southside Machine Lower Control Arms
UPR Double Adjustable Upper Control Arms With Spherical Bushings.
Moroso Trick Springs
Self Modified Monroe GP Shocks
Front Suspension:
Factory Springs
Lakewood 90/10 Struts
The cars weighs 3300 with me in it.
All in all pretty basic and not a whole lot of trick stuff. I have been more than pleased with it and never thought it would get me in the 1.3's.. Might be time to step it up, if so, no problem.

If you put the anti roll bar in,put stock springs in it.

You would be able to go 6.50's easy enough but with those reaction times you would get drilled on the starting line. LOL. I know,I know, you were just testing. Are you sure your front exhaust wasn't affecting the staging beams, because thats a lot of difference in 60 ft.
