wont spin 1st
yeah, what ill usually do is give it what it wants down low and as the rpms climb ease off slowly to keep traction.. and keep the 1st to 2nd shift kinda easy
Leaving the car in OD or just D, it will spin like crazy off the line or try to slide the ***-end around at a 30 punch.
My car loses traction in 1st after like 3K-3500 RPM. Then, burns em as I shift 2nd and 3rd, and gets a nice scratch on 4th. The LS1 is just a top end power monster. Down low, I call mine kinda weak when compared to my 94 Z28 that I had. The 94 was much more of a tire roaster. Not that the T/A wont do it, its just the camaro had more power where it was necessary.
what's your altitude? 8000 feet above sea level?
are you sure its an LS1?
exactly... i'd expect those narrow bridgestones to at least start spinning at the top of first.

i do have issues as the RPM's climb keeping traction sometimes. i have had traction until about 5k RPM's and then busted 'em loose at around 40mph or so. I've also had it go loose at 60+ when i dropped it down to pass
i tend to like traction so i don't complain when it hooks.

With your DIY boxing, good tires, 4.10s, worn stock clutch - you're really gonna have to try to burn 'em. My guess is, that clutch is slipping a good bit when you hammer it. Get a new clutch and it will get easier, for sure, but you have a good hooking combo.
Melchoir is right, higher gears means fewer tire RPMs per engine RPMs and harder to spin, easier to hook. Take this one to the bank.

Can I haz them?
BTW OP, if your not burnign the **** outta them tires, something is wrong.
Lol, thanks man.. appreciate it..
edit: since everyones discussing suspension etc, only thing i've got is SFC's, LCA relocation brackets, a pro kit, and as far as tires runnin some firehawk 275's that could use some more tread, but still have a little left.
WRONGO PAL....
