When I launched I had no wheel spin cause I wanted to take my first ever drag strip run mildly, but once I had went maybe 10 feet and was pedal to the floor in first it kicked in and completely cut power for a second and ruined that run.

You'll want the rears to be at maximum stiffness. You don't want your rear to drop. And your fronts should be on the lowest stiffness level (just while at the drag strip of course, these are bad street settings)
Gotcha on the VDC.

Easy enough to adjust the coilovers so I guess I can give that a shot.

Just want to try and get on the official 1/4 mile forum list, even if it is last place

You'll get on the list no matter what time you get, as long as you post the timeslip
