I’m gonna order tires 1st, thinking Nitto 555R, my boys M3 made 1088 whp and those tires helped him hook up on a 9.09 pass… 1.57 60ft.
Here is a thought, try a run with 2wd only. Maybe two if you can get close to back to backs. I'm not sure what surface temp was there etc but might be worth getting those rears hot and sticky before attempting a best. I know after I light mine up a bit, I tend to launch so hard the front drivers wheel comes off the ground on the street... I mean enough to feel it. (not Toretto style).
