I need to know how to improve my traction on my car.. I seem to spin alot when I launch..

My friends turbo integra has a bigger problem than me.. He has a 6puck on a turbod b18b1 with a t3/to4e -5psi.... He lined up with a camaro SS tonight but couldn't get out of the horrible wheel spin.. I want him to race that SS again but I want him to have a chance... Someone give me some ideas for both of the cars...

better suspension, better tires, and a whole lot of driving skill..

BTW.. anyone know what a stock camaro SS runs in the 1/4 mile? He stomped a stock WRX and after that no one wanted to race him.. They are all scared.. Im too slow.. and the mustangs refused to run.. just came, reved on some imports, and left

with a good *** driver high 12's(rare), generally low to mid 13's.

He pulled a 13.7 last time on the track.. on stock steelies with bald tires.... he was running 17's with yokahama parada 1s... He has coilovers that are almost completely lowered..

The above was with a stock clutch .. he was doing bracket races in indiana and his stock clutch exploded.. he put the 6puck in and can't grip worth crap

I said bettter suspension, jsut because he's lowered doesn't make the suspension good.

I didn't mean anything by that.. just describing the car roughly.. but just struts and shocks isn't all it takes... I just don't know what else it takes.. my car is slammed on cut springs by the previous owner.. I need suspension bad..

Two things to try, first off depending on what tranny you have try launching in second if its an SI. Second find some local dirt track racers and ask them if they have an used tires laying around, usually you can find some American Racers or McCrearys seeing as how most of these guys only run them like 1 night. Get those mounted on some steelies or vx wheels and you got cheapo slicks. Just don't plan on running them on the street they don't last too long but just change them at the track and they will last you good while. These are just two things to try that won't cost you an arm and a leg. If your car is like my boosted hatch you get no traction after boost in 1st or 2nd anyway on the streets. By the way when you get the dsms and run the hack get rid of the black box and the fmu, just in case you didn't know that.Good Luck.

Get a Jimfab traction bar and tighten it up good. You would want to get an LSD trans but not the Phantom Grip, and I'm sorry but I think the Phantom Grip is the only LSD available for the D series. Next get a "drag racing" suspension kit. A number of manufacturers carry them. I also suggest talking your opponent into rolling starts. PS keep it off the streets, my brother's friend and the friend's girlfriend were both killed and their little brother paralyzed by idiot *** street racers. Also a guy went right into a tree a block away from my house and died, and now I have to watch his friends and family come out and have vigils and lay out flowers etc.

better suspension, new tires and not bald ones, LSD, and better driving skills.
