With the bfg at full tire pressure they are no different then a street tire. It wasnt till I lowered air pressure and put some heat to them that they work. I dont believe a highway pull will put the proper heat to them to make them work. But I have no science or numbers to back that just experience at my power level.

yokosuka huh?

Re: Traction Issues

Get a set of spare wheels and throw some slicks on them for racing. If that doesn't do it gear Dependant boost will get it done

Re: Traction Issues

With 350whp I would paint black lines on concrete through third on 225/50 ET streets. The only time my car has ever hooked is at the track on an M&H slick.

X2 say good bye to traction problems then I upgraded motor and turbo still break loose in 1/2 gear. But when I was at 400 wheel hp they were awesome.
Traction bar and proper alignment are key

Re: Traction Issues

If you want to hook first or second buy an AWD car, turn the power down or run slicks full time.

Re: Traction Issues

The true trick to it all is very stiff rear suspension, traction bar, and tires after that u need to mess around with different things but u all can figure that out

no fun in throwing all the secrets out there lol
