car is just bolt-ons...I just like trying to get the best 60 ft possible outta the car...might cam it sooner or later. I have a descent amount of suspension, but its all non adjustable...if it was, I'm sure there is a few things I could play around with to try and make it bite harder. I think it's the new set of rims/tires that I have for the rear that are causing all of the problems..
I'm not sure if you have relocation brackets, I don't have the relocation brackets myself, from what I've seen and read that they do wonders for traction.
I couldn't tell if you had Bogarts, Weld Wheels or ??? in your video but they looked like good wheels and tires.
Hey at least your clutch and tranny are holding up. lol
As far as a rearend, I'll get a strange 12 bolt eventually for myself.
I'm not really a drag racer so that will be plenty for me. I had my 10 bolt rebuilt
about two years ago. ( still holding up ) Once in a while for some reason my car
likes to go sideways coming in/out of corners.

When you get your 9 inch, you will need to adjust the pinion angle, perhaps that might help. The adjustable T/A helped alot with wheel hop on my car. Of course I'm not doing hard launches out of the hole either as I'm set up more towards road racing.

I have full suspension with the exception of drag springs or coilovers. I have relocation brackets. Once I get the 9in I look into the pinion angle of the 9in with my UMI torque arm. I have the relocation brackets on the 10 bolt for the lca's and I still had wheel hop. I was running a full set of weld draglites that night.

It looks like Monster's @ Atco like to eat rearends.
I'm starting to rethink the 12 bolt choice.
Maybe a 9 inch or Dana S60 ?
Nice wheelie by the way.

They bolt right up with no issues, no shims needed, good engagement and release, good wear characteristics.
If you looking for a new clutch or ever in the market, a Monster is worth looking in to.
