Here's what i got for a problem:
I just finished my engine and transmission build on my car which is a 1997 GSX. I just dyno tuned at 566 AWHP on pump gas with 456 AWTQ. My suspension on my car is entirely stock and my tire/rim combo is a set of 18" (no name) aluminum wheels with BFG G force tires. When under hard acceleration in any gear now, the car pulls so hard that the car transfers so much that the front end is always skating around. You have to saw away at the wheel to keep it going straight. The cars front end is in perfect shape and the alignment is dead on. It only has this problem under acceleration obviously. You can be going 100 mph and as long as you are just cruising along, the car is fine. I am thinking a set of drag radials would help me out with traction and would aid in this situation. If i go changing tires, i would consider changing rims also as the rims on the car are kind of heavy. What rim size and tire size and model would best help me in this area. The car is mainly a weekend car that will see the track hopefully 4-5 times a year. I have had no problem building a mean powerplant, now just looking for some suspension advice.
Thanks in advance!!!
