while you're out there, you might as well adjust your air/fuel ratio by smell... and your tire pressure by ride height

Originally posted by THEGOLDPROyeah, well you mine as well just drive around with drag radials on, cause you wont get traction, pat (ne3ek) has the gt-x motor in his car, and has tried to get traction with good tires and good suspension, and its worthless.

I do agree with thegoldpro, Pats GTX setup will break lose in a heartbeat . And he had azenies with zx2 struts and sprint springs. The GTR is a whole different ballgame. I would suggest looking for a 4wd protege or some type of lsd in due time. I bet 2nd and 3rd gear with a gtr turbo is insane

of course, i haven't had the car to a dragstrip, where I imagine I will have some traction issues. most of my traction issues arise from cornering forces on the autocross/track, not in straightline acceleration forces.

welllll
@ about 9 psi I had tried toyo proxies w/good tread spun the top of first @ wot I would spin the top of first and get traction in all other gears.
same boost w/205-50-15 azenis I still spun the top of first, not at the track though (drag) I could spin em if i dumped it but topend was great.
drag radials hooked good.
So I'm sure how you guys are getting such remarkable traction, but share the wealth! I run about 14psi now or whatever my 3" wants me too lol, and it's still about the same :/00 dakota 4x4

Are we talking on the street or on the strip? I'm having trouble with the fact that < 250whp with good suspension is having traction problems w/o drag radials. How many wheel horses are we talking?Current Cars

Odd. I guess I'm going to have to see that one (or feel, I guess) before I fully comprehend it Either way, I can't wait to have that problem -- I should be finally getting mine started up again this month.
My camaro, which is putting 300hp down on the road, barely has traction problems on street tires and stock suspension. In a straight line, I can break them lose on a cold day on concrete going into second, thats about it.Current Cars
