Does adding weight in street cars up front help with traction ya or na?

 

yes it does, but adding wieght up front isnt going to reduce your et's without making adjustments.

ie: corner balance, tire pressure, camber,toe,and caster, not to mention valving for your shocks and spring rates.

Yes. People easily forget its all the little things that add up to getting good ET's.
If this was easy, it wouldn't take 150 mph to run a 9 second ET, lol.

 

If it was the answer no one will tell.Secerts are never told.Anyone else wants to chime in?

It's a give or take situation. You need to dial it in.

Adding weight will make you slower, but if you add it in the right places will help with traction and make you faster. Adding weight also breaks driveline parts, just ask the SFWD Kseries guys.

It's different for every car and every setup, so you get to play with it.

Edit: Ha, I just read the keyword there. "Street car." The key to having traction on the street is pretty simple. 300whp, big BFGs, traction bars, boost by gear, and save the real power for the track.
