Default Need help with launch - m6 with qtp's

set up is hals all around, bmr non adj. ta, lca's, hoosier qtp's. i had my hal settings at front on 2, rears at 4, 13 lbs in the qtp's. heated them up in 2nd gear pretty good and couldn't hook above 3300 rpm. my 60' was 1.7 on that run. launching any higher and i just spun - no wheel hop. i do have relo brackets, they are lower where they bolt to the rear by 2-3 degrees, shouldn't they be parallel to the ground? my average runs were 11.90 at 115 with 1.9-2.0 60'.
any suggestions? thanks.

I had the same set-up
FM13 M6 4.11 QTP 27x11.5 on 15x9.75 rim
I would not do 2nd gear burn-out not good on your drive line
I would tighten up the all the shock a little and drop the tire pressure.

As far getting it to hooking, I went back and looked over my set-up
These setting worked best for me:
Shock 3 front and 4 rear
Tire Pressure 11psi hot, cold about 9.5 to 10
These setting were good for mid 1.6 at a very marginal track
