everything looks ok for the most part except your shock / spring setup. Thats huge. Your shocks are not made for drag racing at all.
Ditch those, get some hal qa1's all the way a round with 275 front springs and put stockers in the back. Also pick up a drag bar.
throw those 10.5 x 16 Et streets back on your car. Drop those bitches to 11 psi (cold pressure. once you do a burnout you'll get 2 or 3 psi). Get some of that loved VHT trackbite everyones talking about.

LOL.
OK, during these time not much changed. I've turbocharged my LS1. Put TC78 in it. And now I've gone berserk and ordered built 4L80E from Jakesperformance and triple-disc converter from Circle-D. Not the most common way to improve traction, I know lol.
Before turbo, car went best ET 12.97@110mph on small MT ET Streets. Then after turbo, it went 14.1 on 28x11.5 ET Drags LOL.
I was going to get some used QA1's for the front, but didn't have enough time.
So now my 4L80 is in the beginning of it's 7000 mile journey to Latvia. We'll see how it ends. Maybe I will have another chance to order front QA1's

I always roll out of my burnout way pass were we are lining up on the street. To get the hot robber down in front of me so it cleans the road and puts hot rubber down to stick to.

Here's video to illustrate our track conditions: 700HP Evo destroys 1100HP drag Camaro

A little update in the setup!
I've got my Strange single adjustable front shocks finally and now I'm in the process of installing (though I broke top "stud" on one of them after torquing to about 37lbs).
I was a bit surprised to see that fully extended these shocks are not longer than my Bilsteins, so they will not allow the front of the car to raise higher. I thought they would be much longer. I'm thinking of getting new "stud" machined a bit longer to allow the car to sit higher relative to the shock. Is this a good idea or not? That would help weight transfer I guess?

You still trying to beat the AWD cars? What pressure where you running in the MT's?
BF Goodrich KDW2's might help in the dirt since there tread pattern is pretty aggressive
or try these... Toyo R888's might be your only hope... ![](http://toyotires.com/sites/default/files/imagecache/pattern_full/primary_2/Tire_Reflections_PXR888_1.png)
Good luck bro...
