wheel hop is teh sux

[abrxy3]

2nd time at the track...this time major traction issues. i cant get a decent 60 ft worth shit. i dropped my exhaust and ran open downpipe. my best run was a 14.9 @ 98. trap speed a little high? yes with a 2.7 sec 60 ft. should i be running mid 14s if i just got a decent f*ckin 60 ft?

I know your pain, I ran a 14.8 @ 98 MPH.. wheel hop all throughout first gear.. then a couple weeks later my tranny blew up Get good tires + Motor mounts, helps a lot.

its a delicate art feathering both the gas and clutch....takes practice...

here's a tip to try the next time you're at the track.

try deflating your front tires to 18-20psi and inflate your rear tires to 40psi. This will increase your patch surface and give your front tires more bite. You will sacrifice trap speed but drop your ET's

But the best peice of advice is practice, practice, practice! My best 60ft on street tires is 2.1 and I'm still far from considering myself a decent driver. Good luck!

2.1...cool. my best stock was a 2.25. getting suspension soon so maybe i'll be in the 2.1's. that would rock. what kind of tires do u run?

I cut 2.1's using Khumo Ecstas and Yokohama 100's (what I'm currently on now)
