how do you get traction on street tires with boost?i have 309 whp,right when i boost nothing but wheel spin,1-2-3 gear,cant do better then a 15.0,also getting 2.8-3 60 ft.

 

fatter tires, or lower tire pressure...

 

lsd is always nice

 

play with the throttle. you can still move while spinning.

 

16" rims and 235 or wider tires

 

Turn up the boost. It worked for Speed PHreak... the line running to his MBC blew off, boost spiked to 24 psi, he hit a 12.8@120 with a ~2.8 60' time.

OK, I know that really wasn't a constructive suggestion

 

hahaha , whats traction ?

 

Racelogic TCS....

 

I would go to your local tire warhouse in town and look for a brand of tires called Warriors. they are ugly and they only for 13's or 14's but they ******* grip and they are 29 or 30 bucks it is worth it and you drop about 5 psi out of the tires you are good. I dont like going the cheap way but you will be suprised how these things grip

 

bfg drag radials Ive heard nothing but good things from those

 

Get a better boost control. Something that let's you set your boost according to speed, rpm, or gear.

 

You might also want to try Energy Suspension motor mount inserts and traction bars.

 

How are you launching? Are you just reving it and droping it and mashing the throttle and not letting off? Judgeing by 60' appears that way. Feathering the clutch and throttle work best.

 

Ski_rebel_3 is on the right track, if you stop and think about it.

You're applying way above stock power levels to stock suspension with probably less than perfect condition components. I know I can actually pull off a good launch and 1-2 shift with a little feathering of the gas pedal, with next to no wheel spin. About four months back I could bark 4th @ 80 mph on Azenis my suspension was so inadequate. I have an OK setup in a light car, but it's not anywhere near that powerful if everything is correct.

Make sure your car is not dumped or running a lot of camber, as that kills traction. Make sure your car is in perfect alignment. Start looking at shock/spring combos, motor mounts, and traction bars.

FYI, my HASport mounts, now 2 years old, are allowing a lot of engine movement. I've fabbed up the front mount for my engine, and it is a LOT better.

 

24.5*8*13" MH Slicks
Quaiffe Differential
ES motor mount inserts
ES suspension bushings
JimFab, Z10, or Comp Eng. Traction Bars
Speed/Gear Sensitive Boost Controller
Lower Tire Pressure
Proper Alignment
Better driving (ease out clutch, feather throttle, etc..)
1000lb Rear Drag Springs
Better shocks

Try all those, if none of them work, then go all-motor. lol.

I could imagine a stock EG (bone stock) with just a 350whp turbo setup under the hood... it would probably run 15's on those stock granite tires, and shitty suspension..then I could imagine it dropping 4 seconds in the quarter mile with just some of the above (non-power adding) mods..

my camber is perfect,my suspension is pretty new 2001 type r,i baby the throttle and it still spins out,on my old car with the same set-up,the wheels spun but i still was taking off,on this car it feels right when i hit boost the car just doesnt move

He said it all, listen to him. I recommend the avc-r boost controller personally, then set it for lower boost for your lower gears.
