  • Traction problemooooo

    Ok so i went to the strip for the first time since i ran my car stock. Now of course ive modified intake,headers,3'' borla exhaust no cat plus custom straighter pipe in place of s pipe, hurst shifter , es tranny mount, lakewood lca's and adj. panhard rod, 180 therm, yada yada..anyways went back and had a hard time getting traction, of course drag radials would help but cant afford them right now, i hook up on the street so what in your opinion is the problem?

      what kind of tire pressure are you running with, what rpm are you launching from.

      everytime you add something to the car, you'll have to adjust how you launch.

            I think you just answered your own problem. Go pick up a LSD, two wheels are better than one.
