Went to the track... need help!
Long story short - 60' is a 2.621 That's with a 3.42 open and 255/50/16 Eagle ZRs back there. I know an SLP posi will help, but what can I do to get this thing to hook up harder? Laugh at the V6 all you want, but it'll fry 1st and 2nd gear right now. I want it to hook up better, short of slicks.... any ideas?

Go around the water as much as possible. Do a short, "dry hop" once you are in the burnout area where all the hot, sticky rubber has been laid down by previous cars. DO NOT let the tire pressure down, this will make your bite worse with the street tires. If anything, put some wieght in the rear hatch well area.
Feather the clutch, lower your clutch dump speed. This will take some experimenting. Also, if the track temp is cold it won't help either.
These things work for me, then again, borrow some stickies from someone too!
