How do you get some tractions with a car with 300-400 rwhp on the street with some sorry @$$ tires? Im spinning my tires HARD in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th gear. I really cant afford some new tires right now but what are the tips/tricks you guys use to get some traction? I have UCA and LCA if its any help. Also if I do decided to get some tires in the near future, what should I get?
Drag radials should help, but wont solve your problem unless you tub it out or something. it must feel great to have all that power.lol what hve you run in the 1/4 mile?
I dont know yet, I went from completly stock to completly stroked. Im still working out some bugs that the car has then it will see some dyno time and after it will see some 1/8 and 1/4.
P.S. My tire spin is just from 1/2 WOT and 3/4 WOT.
As previously stated; you will need to invest in some big & sticky tires. Out of curiosity, have you done anything to the rear chassis yet? How about the front shocks\springs?
If it were me, I'd get a good set of adjustable uppers and set the pinion angle at about -3 and see what that does... But you are still going to need a decent tire.... Have you seen Mickey Thompson's new Drag Radial? From what I've heard and seen, I bet they will be a sticky tire.
Quicker weight transfer would help also. Some Lakewood 70\30 struts & Moroso drag springs up front will be ok for the street & really help "plant" those tires you're going to purchase.......50\50 Lakewood shocks out back too....
young316 you jinxed me didn't you? I knwo it was you!!! I went to the track tonight and got crappy traction all night. I was so frustrated I left after 5 passes. ohh yeah the burnout I did while still in reverse didn't help out matter much HAHAHA
