how do i get freakin traction in my car? i dont have the blower in yet and im still n/a and i cant hook up for crap... ive got G-force sport tires on right now... stock size (245/45/r17)...... and i just spin all of first... all of 2nd and part of 3rd. i nail it from a 20 roll, 10 roll, 15 roll, 45 roll... nothing but spin.. what am i doing wrong?

it hooked one time and felt better than anything ive felt before, but other than that it only spins.

Get drag radials instead? IT sounds like your suspension mods should do a good job, but I'd say the next thing to check into is some DR.

Bigger rims/radial tires, drag springs

Get some SFC, upper/lower control arms, and some DRs for the strip or fun days, and for every day use get soem 10.5' rims out back with some 315 Nitos and you wont(should not) have any traction problems

ive already got some full sub fram connectors on it.. they helped handling alot and got rid of alittle tire spin, ive got upper and lower control arms too (CA's)... i just dont have DR's... ive got some 17x10.5 deep dish bullits i need tires for too... tires cost like 700 bucks for street tires so ive been looking into some DR's instead.. but i would be worried about rain then...

well, i would recomend suspension work cause tires are gonna run you some constant money

and really, dr's are only taht much mor effective when heated up, which requires burning them up

so you'd run through them quick if you wanted traction all the time like suspension can help with

just me opinion

I have no problem running my nt555R nittos d/rs in the rain. hell, they are alot more stable than my old regular (non d/r) BFGs ever were.

maybe get some wider tires,ive got some 275 40 sumitomo's. It still spins quite a bit, but it made it a little better

Lower control arms will serious help with Wheel hop.

A Pan-hard bar should keep the rear from jutting out to the side.

Upper Arms might help you plant things better as well. Ideally the 5-Link or 5-Link-2 would really combine the best possibly uppers with the panhard.

If you are getting a One Wheel Peel then your trac-loc differential probably needs serviced (New clutch packs). Look at your burn-out marks to see if it's just one tire doing all the work.

Finally, Rubber is the last part of the equation the one that matters the most, the stickier the better, the wider the better, and lower tire pressure with some decent size side-walls will help you hook up better as well.

Obviously drag springs and finding ways to transfer weight to the rear more easily can't hurt either.
