Default launch and suspension help

Need help fine tuning my suspension for drag racing.
On this pass i turned up the boost and ended up hitting over boost protection at 20psi and cut the boost in half.
I launched at maybe 4-5 PSI at 3000 RPMs
Once it started to make boost it started to spin some.
LCAs are in the middle hole, 12 bolt 3.42 gears with weld on relocation brackets
TUMI tunnel mounted torque arm, front mount is in lower of 2 holes.
Viking coilover front 300lb springs and viking DA shocks in rear with Strano rear springs, front compression 18, rebound 4. rears compression 6 ,rebound 12.
This pass its 60' was 1.7. my best pass so far is 9.47 at 147 with a 1.47 60' but i had a really loose converter and built around 8 psi on the line but had 18% slip up top.
I have since got a tighter triple disk 6% slip up top unlocked and have trouble building boost on the line now. would like to get the 1.4 60' back and trying to hit 8's Any help is greatly appreciated.
