Ron, my 70 Nova BBC had Moroso front springs, 90/10 Lakewood front shocks, Koni dual adjustable rear shocks, 9" tire stocker. With mine, we set the extension very stiff at about 1-2 clicks from the stiffest setting and the compression at the mid point of adjustment. Car would launch at 3400 with 60' best of 1.41. My thought was to slow the extension of the shock as much as possible so the car could get out farther before the suspension reached full extension. We felt that if it reached full travel too quickly it could unhook the tires at that point, sounds like that could possibly be happening in your case,
just my 2 cents.....
