Just 2 suggestions that have helped me a bunch .... 8-10 seconds on the burnout, DR's like to be hot ( lot's of smoke ) and 13 psi on tire pressure, checked within 5-10 minutes before rolling into the box. You have wider wheels and so might want to start with 15 psi, but imo 20 psi is just too high.

Or mash the throttle faster. Or come out higher (I think another 500 rpm worked for Bill). There is a fine line between bogging & smoking the tires. Sometimes I think we fool ourselves. We go try something & it doesn't work the first time so we try something else. But what if there was something on the track, or the tires cooled off, or.....once you find that sweet spot, look out!

Oh, and like Bill said, lower psi. I find my Nittos hook best around 17.

Hell, when it gets back from the shop with the new rear end, I'll just have to reset and start over again.
