i still cant hook up that well. im going sideways when i launch. i think this is killing my quarter mile times as i cant break a 13.8 with the mods i have below. i see others with less mods running 13.5 or 13.2 and such. What can i do to get traction. Will the LCA's solve this?

what rpm's are you launching at? I launch around 2000-2500 and have similar mods to you and run a 13.2 (as you mentioned). Just try and adjust your launching technique. Feather the clutch a bit and this should help you. Did you lower the pressure in your rear tires?

I am trying to launch at 2000rpms. i tried about 20psi in all 4 tires for one run and got even worse times than the 30psi or so i had in them before.

You're definately going to benefit by replacing your control arms. I would recommend doing the upper and lowers at the same time and you shouldn't have a problem hooking anymore. Let me know if I can help you with anything else.

94 try keeping your rear tires 20-15 psi, fill the fronts to 40 psi. Also has all of your 60 ft times been consistent. The hydraulic clutch on these can be a little goofy. You may want to also try a UCA with the LCAs. If you drive mostly on the road, get the poly ends(they are less noisy). Hope this helps.

Dont flame me here but I believe you need more practice driving and launching the car with that box.

learning to drive is the best thing you can do for a car... i have alot of suspension goodies and i "can" still have traction problems if i want its all a matter of learning to drive your car as best as possible while still getting traction

I have BMR loweres and am happy with them. There is just too much noise with the upper arm and it is a pain to install so I did not. Purchase the non adjustable lowers with POLY bushings. If you plan to lower car too save on shipping and purchase panhard at the same time.

Hey Dennis, are you still having trouble with this?

"I got a sctx2 tune installed at racer edge downey cal went to irwindale drag strip .best time stock 9.215 ran five times everytime i ran the car had so much torque 312tq it would spin the tires everytime i try to shift to 3rd it was like hitting brick wall it would not go in what ever i tryed Do i need a shifer kit i aleady have saleen short shifter"

This is from your "help can`t hit third gear, A brick wall" thread, just wondering if you are still hitting a brick wall, or if you are having so much torque, or if you learned how to drive AND WRITE yet...

hahahahaha oh man "lol"

rony1976

he he he, I figured if he had the ballz to tease you about learning how to drive, he should have enough ballz to take the flaming for not knowing how to drive AND write! he he he
