You want your rear control arms to run up hill towards the body.

pinion angle is to much. there isn't that much defection in the torque arm that you need -2.5 degrees. I run about -.5 degrees. although I doubt that has anything to do with traction.

THis is a good answer. The MT pro will probably solve your problems altogether. But my buddy had a similar setup to you, he was about 430-440whp with TH400, 275 MT pro, 4200 stall, and about a 125 shot.

Without using his transbrake, we found the best idea was to have the window switch set at 2800rpm. Then he would just mash it off of idle, and it would sixty a 1.43 almost every time. He just had CE shocks also set on 50/50.

Swapped to a mt 28x10.5 full slick and still spinning. 1.44 60ft is best I could get. Tried 14, 15, 16 air pressure. With the best 60ft at 14. It seems to spin after the front starts to come back down.

It comes up awfully quick, then settles back down just as quick. Maybe the fronts are too loose?

Front is to loose, tighten it up, I like the front end to be about 26 inchs at the fender if you measure from the center of the wheel, so 26 inches from ground to fender lip, control arms in bottom hole, just seems it like to unload the rear off the hit.

Reduce pinion angle to 1.5, measure from bottom of rim lip (closes to the ground) to fenderwell, set to 23". What is your instant centerheight? Can't help with your shocks. I run my Afcos, 12 compression, 30 rebound.
