RUQWIKR, how high are the center of your wheelie bar wheels set up off the ground?
I just picked my car up from getting my set installed and I have mine set just around 13 inches.
I also have the c06's, no runs on them yet. No runs on the new motor either.
You hit the bars pretty hard but doesn't look like your tires unload at all, nice car and nice working set up.

What front and rear shocks are you running?
I have R series QA1 fronts and Strange double adjustable rears. I have the front at 4, and the rears at 5/6. I only have 2" of travel in the front end (limiters).
I can't BELIEVE that you're pulling those kind of 60 fts. with a rear sway bar and airbag. CRAZY! I figured you had what everyone else did, anti-roll bar.
Race weight is around 2850-2875 (depending on the battery) and that is with me in the car.
I started out at 20 psi and I blew right through them. I dropped them down to 18, still spun. 17, 1.44 60 ft., 16 psi 1.39 60 ft., and that is all the passes that I've had on the Hoosier Radial Slicks. I'm not impressed to say the least.
I don't understand this statement:

Try leaving easy as once the radials unhook, you're done.

Gotta run, so, off the computer for a while. The bars on that run were 10.25 and 10.00", respectively, measured to the BOTTOM of the bar wheels. I have an in-car that you can clearly hear the revs go up when it hits the bars. Play the video link again and listen closely...doesn't blow them away, but spins just a bit. I can go up another 2" or so before the bars will bottom out on the stock fuel tank. Good luck. Dave

I'm just putting info as asked for...I just like to go fast.
Dragaholic...when I say "leave easy", try just above idle off the footbrake to preload the suspension slightly. The 9" version and the 10.5" version are within an inch of each other in width. If you can get the car up on the tire, they obviously work well...might want to completely disengage the travel limiters, but be prepared in case it does sky on you.
Shocks are 7-year old HAL / QA1's (non-R's, single adjustable). The race-type of anti-roll bar just makes it easier to preload the rear to keep from excessive twist, but as my car does not twist too badly, I have never desired to put one on...yet. Good luck to all, and good night...gotta go finish the date with the wifey now that the kids are in bed.
