Unhappy traction

Sorry for yanking you chain guys...I wqs curious as to what comments I could pull out of the woodwork...FYI I own a daily driver 98 Cobra convt. pulling 510 rwhp on 91 octane...this iis my 3rd motor and 4th set of gears...of course lower gears will cause additional wheel spin. Its all in the tires, suspension and especially the driver..my last time was 11.02 @126 mph on the 91 octane. My new motor is running CP 8.3 pistons ,14 lbs boost with aftclr. (no icing) plus a lot more goodies . Latest rearend is 4.10 gears with 31 spleen axels and heavy duty eaton posi. putting out 800 lbs of torque to ea. wheel as oppose to the stock 350. I also have a 4 deg. advance module hooked into computer ( in glove box) iceing the aftclr. box and 4 deg. of additional advance. on racing fuel I should pull an additional 60 rwhp for a total of 570 rwhp. (have not tried it yet as I still have 2000 miles only on new motor. Waiting to change back to synthetic after 3000 miles, lthen race time.) good luck on yor traction problem hope I didn't offend any one else besides Mr. Titan..he sure knows his cars....
