Some advice please.
Bit by the whatever last year and did a fair allthough expensive NA build this spring.
LSX 454 little over 600rwhp NA and a 100 shot to start that i hav'nt even tried yet.
'06 C6 with stock suspension and 6sp.
Diff gone thru by DTE with 3.73's and a quaife
Even with a new set of NT05R's,no traction unles i really baby it in 1st. and 2nd.....Any suggestions would be welcome!best time albeit just once to the track so far 11.6 range/126mph.

The NT05Rs are 18" I assume?
It's going to be difficult to find traction with that combo plus a stock suspension on any tire but you might have to look into a 17" drag radial (maybe a 295-45-17) or even the 17" ET Street bias plies (26-11.5-17).

Yeah i agree you want to start thinking about a different tire choice.
In the meantime, read Ranger's post see if it helps
