Having a weird issue when burning out. Car would smoke the tires with no problem, but when the car pulls forward during the burn out, the front wheels feels like it is wheel hopping. What could be the cause of this?

Thanks.

 

not enough power

 

Are you running on slicks? Are you using traction bars? And what is your setup?

 

running on 24.5x9.5x13 slicks. traction bar. strange coilovers.

 

I doubt that. burnout was at 16psi which is about 470 whp.

 

thats not alot of power lol if the tires are trying to grab in third gear it could very much be your problem,get them more wet maybe

 

Wow, I thought that would be sufficient for a third gear burn out. I might just have to use 22psi which is about 620 whp.

Thanks

 

when i do a burn out i stop in the water box pop the clutch to get a good revolution or two the roll forward a little and proceed with burn out. but i run 23" slicks and dont have near as much power. but no wheel hop here.

 

a 200whp car can do a 3rd gear burnout with no problems.
