I am on stock axles, and i'm on street tires running 205/50/15's Nitto Neo-Gens wrapped on LS Meshies. I'm running a stock diff, and plan on running street tires just to see where i'm at and improve from there. I was gonna go ahead and order hondata MAP sensor and shoot for 400whp or 15-18psi whichever comes first, but I know traction would be a big issue and make my car pretty unless at the strip on street tires. So i'm gonna run strictly wastegate spring between 8-10psi for now and see what happens with less power. My question is should I say on street tires, or just purchase slicks? I heard Drag Radials are more prone to break ****, so i'm trying to figure out what would be best to run in my situation. Opinions and help please!! I don't want any snapped axles or busted diffs. Also with my laggy *** turbo and short geared tranny, whats the best method for getting out the hole without spinning my *** off? Bounce off the rev limiter 1st gear to let the trans catch up to speed and same for 2nd or something like that is what I read somewhere. Someone correct me if i'm wrong, cause I have no clue!

 

Your gona brake shafts no matter what it hapens. just get some slicks your less likely to snap a shaft on slicks then a street tire the slick will take most of the hit also preload the clutch this will help to. Sh*t will brake thats racing if you dont want to brake then dont race. Look into a set of drive shaft shop axels 2.9s thay will be ok for what you are doing.

 

Solid motor mounts are a must. You will more likely break axles without them.

 

I know..... but I don't want to have to deal with it every time I hit the strip. i've seen 250whp car shatter shafts and 700whp drag cars run the strip all day without a hitch.

 

You've got innovative mounts and traction bar, those combined should really limit wheel hop. Slicks will help alot aswell. Also I didnt see an LSD mentioned, an LSD really helps keep you from snaping axles or breaking spider gears in the differential. Always preload before lauching. If the car starts wheel hopping back out of it because its not running to its maximum potential and you are highly prone to breaking something. If it were me running the street tires I would lauch at about 2500-3500rpm slipping the clutch and slowly feeding it more throttle until its hooked and doesnt bog. Most importantly though is to go out and have some fun!
