I’ve got the Imperial hooking so good that I got three straight red lights today LOL

I love that car. What front shock are you using ? I was running 90/10's and the red bulb was lit often.
Switched to cheap standard shocks and no more red lights. Worked for me !
 
I change my car around a lot to run index. Run the timing 8 degrees retarded, add up to 300 lbs ballast, close the carbs down to 75%. Untouched the car will wheelie past the 60ft clocks. Or when slowed up, very little wheelie. We've even set it up to leave flat. My results in R/T when changing all this? Nothing, It stays the same. In my own experience the reason for red lights? It's me, the driver. If you stage deeper it 'll affect it for sure. But if you stage in the same spot. Leave at the same rpm. The difference in R/T is the driver.

Just cheap std shocks. I’m usually late on the tree. Fine tuning it trying t find the sweet spot. Two outings in a row & great consistent 60 foots at 1.64 then 1.67 next day different track. Now to get the tree down
