How much does tire growth and the chassis being under power load move the front end up? I know the beams are anywhere from 5.5 to 8" high but I just want something that consistently trips the beam whether I'm on the throttle, on the brakes or just coasting. My front end sits at 6 inches off the ground sitting at a dead stop.
Opinions welcome as I don't like having to guess what's tripping the beam.

The beams at the top end are supposed to be the same at every track, at least at NHRA sanctioned tracks. I can't remember if it's 6 or 6.5 inches. The questions you are asking have too many variables for anyone to answer without knowing a lot more about your car. I am assuming it is a stock suspension car, being the front is that high off of the ground. Simplest fix for you is to install a stripe taker at the front of your car that is low enough to trip the beams consistantly
