What are you using for suspension on the 8.8?  Did you make any changes to the grannies kit to help with pinion angle?

What spring rates are you running up front and in the back?  I'll have similar power with a narrow rear and a 315 tire.  What size tire did you use? Radials or full slicks?

I run the Mickey Thompson ET Street Radial Pro tires which only come in 275/60/15.(28.2" X 11.4"- 15 I re-used the original spring on the struts and not sure on spring rate for the QA1 in back.

The Mickey Thompson E T Street Radial Pro is the best tire I have ever used at the track.They are DOT approved for street use but my car is drag strip only.I cant believe they would last very long with street use and they are a little expensive.

street duty, unless its "mexico style" street duty  :secret: , I wouldn't fully recommend. Rain is an absolute HELL NO, and they wear fairly quick. I have tons of buddies that use the street radial for daily use and roll racing stuff.  I would stick to a 295-315 et street radial : https://www.mickeythompsontires.com/strip.php?item=ETStreetRadial
