How to get traction

[jimmy kay]

Whipple stage 2 cradle lock out rear sway bars 19x11 running 305/35/19 Nittos r2 even at 15 psi big burnout I can’t get this car to hook. I can’t even get a 60-130 in with spinning. What to do ?

I also run 555R2’s on the street and it would spin them 100 plus if i tried… but they do work really well..

But when it’s serious business time, 28/11.5/17 et street R Bias Plys on bead locks.. need a bias ply for any type of spin recovery throughout the pull.

Radials have their place but it really only on a fully prepped flypaper track.

Oh and just saw 35 series … that’s not enough sidewall for us RWD guys…AWD can get away with that… but we need some MEATS

What springs and shocks do you have?

auto or stick?

R2's should grab from 60mph unless it's 60 degrees out

I have a Whippled Dark Horse with the tremec have 325 Mickey Thompson Street SS tires. So if you can figure out how to make it hook on the street please tell me how because I can't get mine too.

Street traction is a whole different level of challenge as it’s often rutted, rippled, uneven, and not optimally composed. If you want traction on the street, you need a disciplined right foot. N/A or supercharged.

Yup just keep feathering a little till it hooks, Just thought you might of had some special secret. Been dealing with traction problems on the street for about forty years now. LOL.

lol same here. I don’t want to dead hook. Just a better wheel tire setup I suppose than what I have and maybe a few suspension mods. The Nittos r2 are not that great. Maybe a bias ply would be much better

No bias ply as I know of For the Dark Horse rear brake set up limits how much sidewall I can run also.

Switch em out for Pro Kit or something that's not so stiff up front

Might need to open up the wheel wells, but these should work.
