Hey I've been sitting here trying to decide why I get so much traction. I can launch with only a chirp......DUMP it in 2nd with only a chirp and DUMP it in 3rd with nothing at all. I have 275's on the rear and 4.10's. I do however have a 12 inch 2000 watt sub and a 1500D watt MTX amp with a pretty big enclosure in my truck, plus the spare tire. I figure all this probably adds close to 100 lbs if not more in my trunk. Could all this have something to do with it?? If so, do you think I should take it all out at the track for weight reduction, or leave it in for traction???

A couple things, what kind of tires do you have, and also, did you have traction control on perhaps?

Sonicpilz

No my Diablosport predator keeps my traction control off at all times. I have Kuhmo Ectsa or however you spell it 275/40/17's, nothing special.

Are you absolutely sure your tires aren't spinning?

Just because they aren't squealing and making a lot of noise, doesn't mean they aren't spinning.

Mine don't make any noise whatsoever, they grab really well...but I've tore into them pretty good going sideways and screwing around a couple times. No sound at all usually.

Um....I've went through 2 sets of tires in the rear....1 up front. I know how to fishtail, doughnut, burnout etc. I also know if my tires are spinning or not.

What the hell was I thinking, I knew I shouldn't have left my crystal ball at home. [sm=icon_blah.gif]

haha lol

with just a 3.73 gear and welded in flows (and a k&N lol) my car would just blow off the tires if I shifted hard into 2nd with my old BFG street tires.

The nittos fixed that problem though. I would just get a chirp in 2nd and thats it.

I dunno how traction is a bad thing... usually for great racing that's what you want, but I could just be out of my mind

My tires are too sticky too. Should I quit putting super glue on them? I know how to go in reverse so I don't know what I am getting at.
