Mine used to do something similar. I put Hal QA-1's in the rear [set on 4-6 depends on track conditions] since I already had them on the front [set on 4] and upped my tire pressure to 15psi warm to fix it. I run 27 x 11.5 Hoosier QTP's though. I don't have have near as much wieght reduction as you do though. The only thing I have done is removed my front sway bar and put my full size Optima battery in the rear where the spare used to be.

Yeah, I'm not an expert, but get the car scaled or see what you can do yourself to get the rear down a bit more or front up, level it out, looks like you got some rake. You're faster than me for sure, looks like you got lots of potential there.

I noticed you aren't launching really straight. Maybe adjust your LCA's to square the rear up with the car if it's not already.

Well the car is way different now chassis wise. I was out of gear so I decided to go with a taller tire (29.5x10.5). Madman scaled and squared the car and it leaves straight as an arrow now. I don't make it to the track very often, still trying to figure out what the car likes. And I'm still trying to learn this stuff.
