ok so im running bfg radials 205/50/15 at 10psi. ill do a 3-5 second burnout off the limiter in 2nd gear to get them hot. now i usually launch at 5k, but ive tried anything from 4500 to 5500 and i still cant break 2.0. i know the tires are capable i have friends cutting 1.8's with them. anything i should try differently??

oh yea, motor is a 81mm lsvtec making around 325whp. more info in my sig

 

How are u doing off the line? Is it bogging? Does it spin? Are you preloading your clutch when u launch?

 

What do you have for traction devices?

Urathane mounts, traction bars? What suspension are you running ?

 

kyb agx's with h&r race springs. i also have hasport mounts.


its not bogging off the line. ill either get a very very very small amount of hop, maybe skip like 2x then take off, or ill sit at 5k for a very brief second after i disengage the clutch and take off.

i dont use my ebrake, but i do preload, by the 2nd yellow ive got my left foot up and the clutch almost out

 

My vote is your launching it too hard. Your spinning.. launch it a little lower and ease it out off the line. Drag radials work good but their no slicks.. I've ran 2.07, 60' on a 185 75 13 goodyear integrity in my eg. It was about a 3500 - 4000 launch but I rode the clutch on the verg up spinning untill the car caught up with the motor.. Stock everything except for the boost...

 

hmmmm, since i dont use launch control or anything, i wont be seeing my full boost in 1st till probably 6k or so. i wonder id be leaving the line with enough power

 

Every track, car, and setup is different. Because someone got 1.9's on stock aquatreads doesn't mean you'll pull close to that on DR's. Many people are lucky to hit 1.9's on DR's and 2.0's are pretty respectable.

If your getting wheelhop, make sure you have mount inserts at the very least. With 325whp you would have alot more fun and better results with a small slick.

you are right, thanks man .

i do like the radials, but i think for next season im gonna pick up a set of 22" slicks, make some changes to my setup and try and see some 11's

 

u still got stock rubber bushings with like 200k on them right?

hahah yea, just about 250k

 

pick up a set of traction bars to limit that wheel hop is my .02

 

try new suspension setup or settings..??

 

good advice guys .


i dont think im gonna have this same chassis next year, so on the new car ill have some traction bars
