Default Need a little help adj-suspension for better 60foots.

I have a m6 car 12 bolt w/4.11's,26x11.5x15 M&H Racemaster cheeter slick full BMR suspension w/rear adj-drag sway and hal q-a1 all around. On my last set up/motor 346ci 463hp 414tq I would set the front at #1 and the rears at #5 and the car would go 6,500 rpm luanch,1.44 60's all day running 11.1 in the 1/4mi pulling a nice wheeley. Now with my 402ci 517hp 466tq on the same settings I spin or have to luanch low(5,500) and bog. I was told I should stiffen up the rear to like #7 or #8 and put the fronts on #2 and this would keep the front end down and 60 foot better. My goal is to keep the frontend down(no more big wheeleys) and get my old 1.42-1.44 60 back OR BETTER. I do plan on going to a 27''(no 28'' wanted here) tire but still think I can get better on my old 26'' tires. Thanks for any help.

maybe a set of travel limiters on the front end to hold it down, leave the shocks where you has the best luck with the old setup, and launch like you did with the old setup.

A little more air pressure will get the tires to spin a revolution to help stop the bog as well, sometimes that helps.
