Default In desperate need of some suspension help

My setup with the suspension is as follows

SA Qa1's 90/10's ont he fron
Tranny mount adj tq arm set to -2
Strange rear shocks 10 way adjstable
25 mm sway bar
28*10.5S Hooiser Slicks
!front sway bar
Solid rod end LCA's w Reloc brackets
12 botl 4.56 G5X4 full bolt on M6 car made 429/386
RW 3576

I cant get this car to hook for my life. Everything thing i try results in high 1.6's low 1.7's

I have the rears set on 7 and the fronts set on 3. I am leaving without the 2 step at 6k with the 2 step i got the car down to 4600 rpm and was still spinning big time on the launch. I am running 12 psi in the slicks and 40 psi up front. The relocation brackets i ve tried in the 2nd and 3rd hole and still this hasnt helped. Anyone haev any suggestions or a good starting point to try. I messed with the front setting a little but (tightening them up and looseiong them) netted worse 60's times.

:help:

Probably have a clutch that does not slip at all in it don't ya. I have the same issues
with my spec 3 , you can't slip it so it just acts like a burnout on the launch. There is
a reason all the superstock and stock class stick racers use Mcloed soft locks , they don't hit the tires like a sledgehammer.

in my opinion, the first step to any chassis set up is to have the car weighed as raced on individual wheel scales. there is no simple answer but with chassis measurements and enough research you can get a suspension that works.
