I apologize for the long post in advance.
For you guys that have upgraded suspension for drag racing, how much did you gain ET wise? How much squat is too much with the IRS on the S550? Since they squat no matter what.
One thing I've noticed is, although I'm not getting wheel hop or spinning (with ET Street R's), I can see the rear loading and unloading some by watching videos of my car. Or will upgraded suspension just help on poorly prepped tracks and in Mexico where hooking is much more difficult? If i can pick up a few tenths at the track with suspension alone i will be happy.
I've got a Whippled 2018, 10R80, 3.15's on stock suspension. It makes a little over 800whp. I'm able to cut high 1.4 60's as is on the stock suspension, with decent track prep. Has anyone done any comparisons of before and after their suspension upgrades? I talked to Kelly at BMR before he left and got the most important things recommended for my setup.

One thing the IRS does well is squat. I know with the solid rear like the S197 you don't want it to squat much, but with the IRS how do you guys address it? I've never had wheel hop or spun with my ET Street R's unless i did a poor burnout, but like everyone i want to better my ET's. So I'm wondering if you will see much gain with suspension upgrades if you are not spinning as it is?
The new stuff from BMR and Viking going in right now. I'm wondering how much i will even pick up if I'm not spinning.
