Default Gettin' some traction

Hey I have a 97 svt cobra. look at the mods in my sig. I have 315's nitto drag radials in the back. I have a hard time launching with out a lot of wheel spin. What can I do to get some more grip at the launch?

Not familiar with the '98 much. If you have IRS, then you need to consider swapping in a stick axle. Otherwise, there are parts designed to help stabilize IRS, but it'll never be as good on the strip as a standard 8.8 rear.

What is the tire pressure set? You aren't making much power to be having traction problems with DR's... What are you lauching at? Do you roll the clutch or dump it when you leave the line...

you should roll the cluch when you take off. I just got my nitto not too long ago and i really didn't notice much different from them and my regular street tires.
