Traction issues on the street
Maybe someone can chime in and give me some insight. Hopefully. I have an 01 Camaro makes 565/517 through a built 4L60e. 5.3 w/PTE 7475 etc. front is all MWC components and Viking coilovers. rear is a 9", Founders control arms, SFB, and torque arm. torque arm is moved off of trans, Comp engineering ce2700 shock set on 50/50, and eibach pro kit springs. Car weighs 3520 with me and is on MH 275/60r15s now. Its slowly getting better, but still not how id expect it to hook from a 30 roll or dig. LCAs are in the lowest holes on the rear brackets, torque arm is at its highest point, pinion is -1 from driveshaft, etc.
Is it the progressive stiff rate of the springs? like 110 to 170lbs/in progressive. I have a set of v6 96 camaro springs im thinking of putting in without the rubber isolator to keep ride height similar. Ive been making adjustments and a tire swap to get where I am, but I feel at his power level, its should be much more plated. Thanks

Bring the torque arm down on the mounting point. Having it up is being counter productive to the LCA's being in a lower position in the brackets. I would bring that down before making any other changes and see how much that helps

So I lowered the front of the torque arm, and put stock springs in the rear without the isolators to keep the height similar. Still just skates the rear end around from a 40 roll in D3. Maybe its down shifting to 1st? Or converter seems to flash to 5k+ so it spooly right to 500+ftlbs? IDK Im a bit lost
