I'm sure you thought of this but are you lowering your rear tire air pressure?

Since you're spinning then a sticky tire for starters. If it still doesn't plant or hops work on the rest. No way you can make a hard tire hook. Not sure what you've got and how old they are but that's where I'd start. Then you'll know what else depending on wrap or hop or...

I just don’t know which ones. Drag Radials (to drive daily) or Slicks. Which is why I made the thread to see what’s up

Too much gear, need to come down to get traction in dig. You've got gearing for 1/8 mile not 1/4 id gear down so you can boost it off the line or have your converter loosened up or have coupling changed up...

I agree with the overall ratio being to high for the current setup. Sticky tires then go back to 3.73 if that doesn’t help

Sucks to read this piece because 2 weeks ago I just fixed it again and my tuner said to put 4.30s since I run larger than normal tires

as far as the converter how can I loosen it up? Because I already have a lot of vibration that I need to work on

Most drag radials only go up to 29", et streets I think go up to 31" but you need to go down to 15" wheel

Not sure what's available with slicks

You're going to effectively be even more over geared

I'm not convinced he's over geared yet at least imho based on my past results. What's your tire diameter currently?
