Default traction problems... how to control power!

from mid-high end... i get a surge of power from boost! sometimes... my front wheels shake from traction problems...

would shocks help out with this problem? i also have 17's... it causes wheel hop if i take off too quickly...

any recommendations?

Good shocks and motor mount inserts would help a lot. And of course sticky tires always help.

i would highly reccommend trying a z10eng front traction control system. It works wonders. It cuts 60 ft times down by .3

I'm assuming you have an LSD?? the drag radials would help a good deal..

LSD isn't going to help...I have the same problem in first gear...I dump about 3500-4000rpms on my launches (any less and my start sucks) and my front (16 inchers) bounces for a couple of turns. then it really grabs!!

I had pretty bad wheel hop until I changed my 70K mile-old Control Arm bushings...did wonders. (shrug)

the z10 bar is the only streetable one on the market that i know. It will definitely eliminate wheel hop if preload is set correctly. THe kit goes for around 375 and comes with all hardware. It is powerdcoated red and all hardware is excelent.

so i take it...

control arm bushings, one of those z10eng traction control, motor mount inserts, and some good shocks are good ways of controlling traction? COOL. thanks for the insight, guys....
