The attached video was taken from under my car today launching at New England Dragway, this particular launch was a 1.47 60'.
I have no idea what I'm doing when it comes to adjusting my new rear end but here is what I see.
At the hit the rear end separates but then immediately collapses and the tires loose grip.
The tires then start to grab and the rear end separates again and the car accelerates.
The shocks were set pretty loose on extension and at the mid point on compression.
Common sense says I need to increase the compression setting but what do I know????
What's funny is that with the solid axle rear I don't feel the loss of traction the way I used to with the IRS. On one of the passes today I thought it hooked but didn't know it didn't until I looked at the data log. It's a far more subtle feel that with the IRS.
