You need to adjust rebound then. The shock setup at full stiff will make it harder for the car to squat. You want to slow down the rebound of the shock so you keep the weight transfer to the rear as long as possible. This will give you better traction than a full stiff car that can't transfer the weight to the rear.

I'm not saying your setup doesn't work, I'm just saying it could be better. Check out import drag solutions cars and watch a few of their videos. These shocks are typically very low lbs/in springs and have a slow rebound to aid in getting the most traction/best 60ft possible.

Made 546whp @ 20psi on a dynojet. 1000cc injectors are maxed but I have 1650cc injectors going in soon, hoping to get another 100whp out of the setup.

Update:

Ran 10.785 @ 128mph with a 1.67 60' @ 28psi

MPH still seems low and have some kinks to work out but happy to finally run a 10

I have 15x8 with 4.5 back spacing. If you dont have over fenders it will stick out bad....i currently have 255/60/15 et streets. I kinda regret buying them but ,it was a deal.. i tried to upload a picture off my phone but the file size is way to large to upload . I do have over fenders not sure on what size they are since they came with the car but they tuck pretty nice

I'm extremely new to drag, never been to the strip in my life. Plan to take my 240 in a month to the strip for the first time to get my feet wet.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a tire compound/size that aren't going to hook up so good that I snap my stock axles? Setup is below. Thanks guys!

LS1 with 227/234 cam
Long tube headers into single 3in exhaust
650hp built 4L60E with 2800-3200 stall converter
DDS steel driveshaft
J30 differential and stock axles
15x8 wheels in rear. Research tells me I can run a 275/60/15 tire without rubbing but I'd love more insight.

You're not going to break your axles with a stall that low. I'd run a 26x10.5 hoosier quick time pro

What axles are used with this kit? Factory? Q45/Z32? DSS upgraded axles? So more information on your website would be nice.

Custom Driveshaft Shop axles intended to be used with an aftermarket 31 spine spool. If you want to stick with the weaker stock 28 spline stubs and center section we could get you a quote on axles for your specific application, they will follow the same pricing though.

After about 250 passes with my ls3 s13 on a Q45 diff swap I broke the rear tonight. I haven't pulled it yet to see if it broke the ring gear or the pinion. I'm not worried about being able to get the r230 in the subframe but I don't know if I can get axles in without binding. Anyone have any info on this? I dont want to do a four link- 9 inch in this car.

Aren't you already using 350z axles with that Q45 diff? Those are pretty indestructible..
