Default Roush Supercharged 2016 track times

Ok so I have a Roush Supercharger, Roush quad exhaust and the Roush single coil overs on my 2016 PP. I have Nitto 555 G2 (305) on the rear. The fastest time i could get at the track was 12.2. Second gear was a waste because I just spun right through it. I know I could break 11 with DR but i dont want to change tires. Any ideas on how I could get a little more traction?

You can try adjusting the tire pressure a little bit by a few pounds. With that much torque though you would be much better off with stickier tires.

How does the car feel at the track? What's the trap speed?

Go to another track that's prepped or learn to slip the clutch.

just spend the money on the slicks. Other wise you won't get very good times

If you do go with stickier tires, you had better get upgraded half shafts, if you don't already have them.

Just no way around it. At that power level, a street tire just isn't going to bite hard enough.

CANEBOY, I suspect part of your traction problem is not having enough weight transfer. Try a set of front adjustable struts and rear adjustable shocks. I prefer, at 16 psi hot, the NITTO NT05R shoes. All the other suggestions will also be very useful.
