I assume you have low band apply on your valve body, just wondered, as you said you burn out in 1st gear. Mick

A little trick we are doing. Large first burnout as mentioned. Then just a quick burnout just to start to get smoke after the first break in burn out. Roll on out until it bites, but continue rolling up past the starting line (no longer spinning obviously) but picking up all of the fresh glue further out. My buddy is running consistant 7.60's in the quarter w/1.2 60's in his 68 Chevelle.

I just put MT ET Street radials on my truck for the first time last week, so I'm still learning myself. I ended up at 22psi, did a second gear burnout at 6000rpm for about 3 seconds and let it coast out and hook. It made all 8 passes between 1.552 and 1.560 sixty foot. On the 40 mile drive home I noticed some vibration...after checking the balance I found that the wheels had turned about 4 inches in the tires! I guess it's either time for rim screws, or maybe a little more air pressure.

Beadlocks preferred (on high horse power applications). Even with glue one of my other buddies spins the tire on the rim about 1" to 1-1/2" almost every pass.

What the heck kind of glue sticks to aluminum and rubber? I love the idea of not having to drill holes in my Convopros though! Looks like I'm only turning the wheel about a half inch in the tire per pass.
