another question? shoud i have the traction control on or off. I have C6 rims on there now so my rear tires are 10.5 wide and my front are 9.5. I know that this will help me hook up instead of spinning but i didnt know where to leave the traction control on to stop all spinning or take it off and let the ls1 show its power.

take the traction control off and burn your tires before you take off. with the traction control on, the computer won't let you accelerate, it will push the pedal back at you. well atleast thats what mine does.

While you pre-loading with the brake, what does this stress out? Your rear? Tranny? Does the Driveshaft still spin?

It heats up the tranny a little bit. Not much unless you do it for an extended period of time. I always just leave off idle (even back when the car was stock). The drive shaft is not spinning unless the tires are.
