detroit turetrac????

are you using an LSD???

if not then that's your problem. if you are then no way you are smoking your tires and if you are let off the gas and get traction and get back on it. learn how to race

don't even think about the ford T-lok.

i am on my second one right now. don't have the money to have my detroit swapped out of my bent axle tube rear into my current housing.

7.5 for t-lok= wasted money with a poweradder

detroit truetrac is the only way to go.

once the detroit is in you will have alot better traction

BTW keep the nitrous as a WOT switch. it's safest. and will give the best results. i hope your not spraying in first. only do 3/4 throttle in first and roll into it slowly in second with thepeg leg rear. you should blow right past them after they get a 3 car jump on you

VCS has a great reccomendation as well as Cobra, add on lower control arms to help keep the car stable when launching.

1. it's not ford racing. it's stock replacement t-lok for an 83 broncoII with a puny 2.9L 120hp V6. same exact part #.
2. it won't last long.

3. LCa's and UCa's with stock V6 strings in the rear and heavy load rate in front with good drag shocks/struts will yield best results with sticky tires

Time will tell when it goes out. Its taking 300hp pretty good, chris's trans went out before the tlok-
