Default Problems getting traction

So ive got the mods listed in my sig, the 4.10s still arnt on, but i cant seem to get traction at ALL. I never really had this problem before and i find it hard to belive that headers are going to throw me off that much, and my tires still have decent tread on them, is this due to the cold weather or something? And what RPMs do you guys generally launch at?

Default RE: Problems getting traction

The cold weather will definitely effect your traction.

You can't ask what RPM's everyone launches at, it varies car to car, per modifications/conditions and such.

What you need to do is find clean pavement. Stop and start launching at 1,000 RPMS, feathering the clutch, not dumping. Gradually work your way up as high as you can with MINIMAL TIRE SPIN. You will find the sweet spot.

As for ways to improve your traction as it its now without getting a different set of tires, look into some Lower Control Arms - LCA's. They will greatly improve traction.
