Default Traction advice

Toyo 9 inch tire, 10 inch wheel with a starting point of 14 lbs of pressure. Calvert 90/10's, Rancho SA's, Santhuff springs, 400 trans, 4.88 gear, mono leaf with sliders and ladder bars, foot brake leaving at 3000.

The tires spun bad leaving the line and then chirped hard on the 1-2 shift. Racers at the track convinced me to go with less pressure, which I felt was wrong based on my other thread here. We took a pound of pressure out and 60's were better, but not good. We went as low as 10, which was so bad that the tires spun when I tried to get the r's up to 3 before staging.

The shocks were set at 4 on the left and 5 on the right. I set them at 2 and 3. I'm also going to loosen the front limiters all the way. Is that the right way to go

Thanks for any help.
