Dude, I didn't say it could not be done
I said it gets harder
I can do it also (BIG DEAL)
my point is its really not that hard if the car is set up right. I'm not a great driver, the car hooks and goes on a dump with no sidewall DRs.... so Stan just needs some seat time IMHO

I doubt seat time is the issue, I am an old man (35) with plenty of seat time in fast stick cars. Hell, my SRT4 hit mid 11's, now THAT was a car that was a handful, lol. I want to try a different track, out local track just isn't the best it seems like. If I hit Joliet and still have these problems then I know I have real problems. Just trying to see if anyone sees something I am missing.
well everyone did kinda just skip over all my questions about how your suspension is set up.

If your car isn't on the factory springs anymore, you need LCA relocation brackets. Otherwise, you have made your traction worse by having the front of the LCA lower than the back.
FWIW, I dump the clutch every time from the launch. You'll having to vary your RPM's depending on track prep.
Try reversing your D-Spec setup. I usually go almost full soft in the front and about 4 turns from full soft in the rear. Those 4.10 gears and the positive displacement blower might make things a little more dicey, but I think you should try and come out the hole harder. Sometimes babying it out the hole leads to spin and shocking the tires with a hard launch can give more traction.
edit: your mph is def good for mid 11s

Second the soften the fronts and firm up the rear. Try and get the instant center up. Thats more important than the pinion angle.

Hes got adjustments for both, so if max traction is what he is going for, it makes no sense to say one is better then the other. How about, oh I dont know, do both? Get everything dialed in the way it should be (thats why you bought all those adjustable components,) then tray again

Maybe so Stan, however it seems that your current set up is a bit new to you, so I'll stand by my statement that you need some seat time to get the set up dialed in.
Also you need to leave harder, with those tires and your power you should IMHO be able to dump it 4500 or so.
Again 55mph on the burnout for 4-5 seconds to get some real heat in the tires.
I'd agree with the comments above about the shock set up to help the weight transfer.
Again - the lowered stance will hurt your 60s no way around it.
