Need some traction
 

After getting back from the track, it became evident that slicks are in order. I was using BFG d/r on saturday and couldn't launch to save my life. At first I tried 3500 rpm, but then backed off to 3000 without any success. What size rim and slicks do you guys recommend to help me improve my ET?
380hp 400 trq

What was your MPH?

You should be hooking up on your drag radials. Did you heat them up? How much pressure in them?

You should not be seeing a 2.4 60' with your radials.

i run 26x10.10.50x15 on a 15 inch steel wheel. m/t et streets. they hook up great. i was launching at 5k and didnt even hear a chirp. anything else my car would bog

under your mods list i noticed a procharger, also you say your car has 380hp and 400trq...but your ET is 13.4, something doesnt add up? even with a small traction problem shouldnt you be getting lower, like at the most a 13? I guess im missing some numbers here.

Did you drop the pressure on your bfg's?? I just picked up mine a couple days ago and they're great. I know nitrous is different, but from a 1st gear roll, the tires don't spin at all and thats a 100rwhp instant increase they're handling. How old are the tires??

Your doing somthing wrong, I cut 1.5 60 foots on a BFG dr. Your MPH is terrible for a car with that kind of power, and mph is an indicator of how much HP a car is making.
