help with rear end setup ok, ive been getting 2.1-2.3, 2.1 on a good launch, my best being 2.051
btw this is on bfg sports tires, not DRs
my rear pass side is start to squeak so im still trying to figure that one out but what else should i do? im also on a budget and its a 95% street car, only sees the track a couple of times a year (looking to bring that number up though)
so far my front suspension is stock,
rear i have steel driveshaft w/ 1350 yokes to moser 12 bolt with eaton hd posi 33 spline and 4.11 gears
bmr non-adj LCAs, stock panhard, SLP adj tq arm, stock springs and shocks, pinion angle is right at -2
i know i need some DRs, but what else?

I'm not a drag racing expert, but it seems that some good drag tires will help your time a lot.
As far as the squeaking, two thoughts. If you have poly ends in your LCA's, you may need to grease them. Secondly, there's a chance the bushings in your PHB are shot and making some noise too.

Looked at your current mods...
The biggest help for a 6-speed car is going to be tires and practice,practice,practice.....
You have a lot of first gear with the 6-speed and 4:11 rear gear ratio which makes launching a car difficult to say the least on street tires...
