Ok so my 2nd time at the track on slicks. my first time i ran 8.37 at 87.5, and i couldnt do a burnout at all(this was on 10lbs of boost built ls/vtec). 2nd time back and went 8.39 @ 88.8. i still couldnt get them going. these are on 22 x 8 slicks and i was on 15 lbs of boost this time. just spn through 2nd. my ebrake isnt holding long enough to get them smoking. i need some tips guys anything to try and help thanks Chris. also my ebrake is tightened all the way .

 

What gear and rpm were you trying?

You can probably just raise the rpm and get the tires spinning initially and the e-brake wont have to hold as much.

I dump the clutch at 7800 rpm in 3rd gear to get a nice burnout.

 

im dumping the clutch at 7500 and around there

 

What gear?

 

1st

 

Thats probably why, your not getting enough wheel speed in 1st gear. Try your burnouts in 2nd. good luck.

 

im going with him. i recently started using my first ever pair of slicks for this car. i tried to do a burnout in 2nd gear dropping at like 7-8k and hold for a few sec. like i used to do on my bfg 205 DR, but nothing. 2nd gear attempts just pull straight through and dont give me any spin time at all. i tried first and it spins a little but not enough to make me feel good. im also on 22x8 MT running 200hp NA. i did try this at unknown lowkey private race spot, poured lots of water, didnt do what i wanted. whats the deal? will the burnout box at the track be diff? does the concrete make that big of a deal over watered pavement? sorry for the thread jack, just another similar problem and more info for help.

ps. dont worry about the whole private spot thing, i dont wanna hear nothin about it!!
