Maybe u should try et streets. My car will dead hook on the street bad enough that the windshield looks like it's going to pop out. But it is slower 11.50's at 119 but with factory slant 6 springs no cage or frame connectors and swap meet shocks I would like to think that a lower et could hook just as good with a few suspension mods. Maybe not thought haven't been there yet will let ya know.
Gettin ready to order some new et streets 27-8.5's I can probably post a video from in front of the house! But for a full pass I'll have to drive a mile or so! love livin in the country.
But seriously good luck and hope u figure it out.
