Anyway to control tire chirping/spinning between shifts?

Is there any suspension parts that would minimize tirechirping during shifts? My car with the street twin, bmr lcas and brackets will chirp/spin every gear down the 1/4 mile.

Would any parts help me minimize this loss of ET? Torque arm with adj pinion angle?

reduce tire pressure...try like 20 pounds. although i wouldn't recommend regular driving like that...but if you mean when you're at the track it'll work. I actually drove around a few days with 22 pounds in my tires...chirping solved. Now that they are inflated to 32 pounds tire spinning anywhere abover 2500rpm has resumed which isn't an entirely bad thing

Then you aren't just spinning you are getting wheel hop. Just do the susp. things. I don't know what you have done already but do
LCA's
Torque Arm
Subframes
Springs
Shocks

And you should be ok.

this is on et streets with 14 psi or so in them. how do you guys do your burnouts? I set the line lock and start it out in 2nd gear and give a few secs of smoke and then roll out
