We didn't quite reach our goal of an 8 second pass, but I'm starting to think it is next to impossible on these tires and the factory IRS suspension configuration. It launched pretty hard (Best 60' 1.45) but as soon as it hit second which was out of the traction compound it was all over the place. We may try again this season, but it's getting a solid axle and bigger tires this winter for sure!

Edit: I forgot to mention this pass was at about 830whp as anything more would simply overpower the tires at half track.

Do you have more adjustment for getting more weight transfer over the rear wheels? You should have enough torque to pull the front wheels completely, but that might not be possible with the IRS geometry. Although there is a guy running mid-8's in an older Vette with IRS carrying the wheels for quite a ways.
