I`ve got serious traction problems when I race, from a dead idle if i floor it all i do is spin to the red line.. Another problem is really shifting into second, the backend goes crazy and scared me one time because of how much my truck swerved. How should I get out of the hole? I thought that traction wouldnt be to much of a problem with the tires I have, but thats not the case. :racing:

what rpm are you shifting at? Of course I do have nittos so I can't really say much, because they hook really good for the most part. When you shift, you don't have to dump the clutch too hard. That will help you hook a bit better.

 

[spd]

i shift around 5000rpms

Try bringing it down to about 4600 or 4700 it won't be nearly as bad. How much air pressure do you have on your tires? How many miles are on the tires?

 

[spd]

ive got like 31-32 psi in my tires, and as far as miles on the tires, im not sure exacty maybe like 30k, but i know that they only have about 10k left on them. there due for a rotate right now also

 

[spd]

there all 35psi now

 

[obrien]

when you go to the track dop them down to about 20 psi. Thats were I had my nittos. They will hook a bit better.

You could buy a set of traction bars and remove the overload leaf. I can get 2.02 60' with 275/60/15 yokohama avid st street tires. Am using a 2200 stall and I do floor it off the line. There is some tire spin but not enough to lose more than .2 sec ET

 

[WhiteNoma]

dropping the air pressure in a street tire wont help you. its different with et streets and dr's and stuff like that. F1's should have little trouble sticking. what are you launching at?

 

[spd]

i launch from a dead idle and if i punch it all i do is spin and dont move

 

[obrien]

try bringing the clutch in a bit easier.

 

[spd]

i think your right obrien, because yesterday i was eaiser on the clutch and launched with almost no spin, but it was again from a dead idle
