I have those tires sitting in the garage to replace the previous 295/45-17 ET Streets. I had hoped that this tire would fix the problems you describe. Data logs show the car is spinning to a 1.61 60' with the ET Streets at 16.5lb of pressure.

I also have a set of Viking shocks I'm gonna try out. Should the tires/shocks not fix it...who knows what's next.

I feel ur pain please inbox me when u resolve this issue I want to see what others are doing before jumping ship .. I was thinking some bmr springs with the double adjustable shocks and differential support bushings but I don't want to do anything yet .. Or pull some power out down low I rlly would hate to do this since the car is a beast just that sloppy 60ft still

FWIW, I already have BMR vertical links, BMR lower control are bushings and BMR cradle lockouts. I do have diff bushings, but too lazy to put them in (figure I'll do so if I ever break the diff).

I am curious if you're willing to give up what pressure you're running those tires at.

Have a video of what it is doing?

15 psi at the track 12 on the street no videos yet only made 1 pass at the track then rain :( .. Prob is leaving out the hole I stall it up then mash it spin lol unless I control my throttle but I just want to leave full throttle

Slo motion video is one of the best tools you can ever have at the track. Then you can actually see what the suspension and tires are doing.

I shall try but if I did still dont know what in looking at

If you get a video, i will walk you through what you are seeing. I imagine a set of good shocks tuned right, loosen the front end, lighten the front end up are always good starting points.

You need to do suspension work. I have seen this combo let cars 60ft in the 1.3 - 1.4 range.
BMR Cradle Lockout
BMR Drag Springs
Viking Shocks
