need help with susp. setup I have a o1 ws6 that I can not get out of the 13's on 295/35/18. The car pulls 2.0-2.3 60's with 114-115 mph n/a. The car has gone 11.7 @ 118 on old engine with 26x11.5x16 m/t with 1.7x 60's before. It has lca, phb, 9" with 3.89 gears rest of the stuff is stock. That was at 6500 clutch dumps.
The new motor is a iron 6.0 with g5x3 cam, 243 heads that flow 310 @ 600, ls6 intake, bolt ons. The rear end is the same with bm t/a, Suspension Techniques sway bars, lca brackets and bilisteins in the rear
This is a REAL DAILY DRIVER. It sees about 500 miles a week.
I would put slicks/dr's back on it but I have broken 2 alum. drivelines, all were on my street tires on the street. Any ideas let me know this is about to make me mine tube to fit 345/30/19 on the back.
I have drove my friends c6 z06 that makes 540-550 rwhp on stock tires to a 10.9@131 on 1.7 60's so I know I can drive a little.

Getting a 6 speed off the line takes a little driving. It's not something you can just dump the clutch and go. Sidestepping wont work with those tires for sure. Breaking driveshafts could be a pinion angle issue as well.

Like I said I the first post I know I could 1.8x's 60's on the 325/30/19. I might try the m/t 305/35/18 dr's and see if can pull some 1.6x's
As for the torque arm it's a spohn body mount and the pinion angle is at -4. Right now I leave the line off idle and roll into the pedal. the big problem is getting 2nd to hook once they are spinning. If I short shift to 2nd it boggs and kills the et's.
