traction problems
 

i have this problem wtih traction because my torque is high. (over bored pistons and high compression) and when i race i like to slam on the gas and i lose traction for like 3 seconds and sometimes i do an rolling traction where smoke will come to the tires a little. someone told to barly step on the gas and then slam it so you get off the line first. now wouldn't i lose off the line because i am not flooring it. i havn't found a guy to race to try this method. how would you solve the traction problem. i have an automatic so i don't know what answers i will get because most of you drive sticks

use slicks, and race at the track.

Re: traction problems (VolpeOwnsU)
 

I used to drive an auto and the only way I would race would be from a roll simply b/c honda autos suck from a stop. If you have traction problems with an auto in a honda then something is wrong.

but to help try some suspension work, stickier tires, also to launch try and stall it up using the brake. Just go to a deserted road and try a few different methods and see what pulls best.

Me thinking the same thing.

Re: traction problems (degooser)
 

This is what I'm thinking. What are your mods?

Re: traction problems (degooser)
 

my mods are ctr pistons overbored (0.25) and knife edge crank and stock rods got narrowed. cold air and higg flow cat and greddy sp. i don't know how much torque i have can't really sayd but when i dyno my car i will show you guys the slip. but i might dyno it after i finish the motor. i might dyno it soon just to see what i pull off with an automatic built bottom end. how my tires get loose who the fuck knows. maybe i will make a video and post it up to show you wtf is going on
