95 LT1 strip setup help So after 2yrs of building and saving money its finally time to go to the track. All I would really like to know is what pressures to run on the rear tires and which setting on the rear QA1s. As a starting point.
Heres the setup:
Rear:
Moser 9" w/4.11 gears locker
28x10.5 MT ET streets
S+W Racecars LCA SFC and midmount torque arm
Spohn 1" rear drag sway bar
QA1 single adjustables
stock springs
Front:
skinnies in the front
stock suspension
some weight removed from front end
Drivetrain:
Performabuilt stage 2 trans w/3000 stall converter
Spohn driveshaft
Engine:
stock internals
longtubes w/full 3" exhaust
CAI
intake elbow and airfoil
PCMforless tune
full poly mounts
I know the car needs more power to really run but I want a good baseline before I start spraying it. Thanks in advance for any replies!

From what I read here, over built suspenion and tire on a other wise LT1 bolt on power with a mild stall. As for settings it will depend on how the car reacts. People here can probably give a # to start with but being so much traction your going to probably bog a good deal.
Any weight reduction??

P/s and a/c gone. Washer tank gone. Rear seats, carpet insulation, spare, speakers gone.
I knew it was going to be under powered but I wanted to build the car to handle whatever I throw at it in the future.

Track Update!! So I finally made it to the track today. Ran 13psi in the rear tires and had the rear shocks at a 4 setting. Car hooked hard! and did not bog down. Only bad part is it didnt want to shift into second and banged off the rev limiter a few times until i let off and get back into it then it finally shifted. By then the run was wasted and only ran a 14.03 but I had a 1.75 60ft time.
Then it started to rain and was unable to make another run.
