hey guys ive been trying to set up my car for drag recently and since ive been tuned i have been having a ton of issues with traction.. i cannot get the car to stay straight on the track.. it leaves fine but after about 60mph on the slicks it feels like its on ice skates and if i run it on street tires its actually a little better but trys to jump into the next lane at about 110. the car wont even get traction on the dyno at 9psi..

the car has a full set of tein circuit master coilovers on it( i think they are my issue). I called inline pro and was told that they tried about 4 aftermarket suspensions and were having the came issue and once they put the stock suspension back on the car it solved the problem.

Do you think its logical to take about one coil out of the oem rear springs to make it transfer weight even more? considering the car has no soft top anymore and it basically gutted in the back.

any help is greatly appreciated..

thank you.

 

What are you running for tires and sizes? Mickey Thompson ET Street drag radials, Nitto 555R, Nitto NT05R, BFGoodrich, M and H, etc???

 

I used stock suspension.

 

9psi is cooking tires over 60 on slicks? seriously?

 

how much power are you making?

 

car is on et drags.. 26x8.5x15.. power is 465whp 9-10psi and a hair over 600 on vp q16 at 19psi on a dynojet

 

You shouldn't be having traction issues at 465 whp. Not with slicks. I hook up fine with 275 street tires. your suspension must whack.
I haven't heard of to many getting that kind of whp at 9psi.

 

its a very efficient setup( equal lenght top mount, exhaust is routed thru the hood, precision 6265.. im taking the suspension off this weekend and going back to stock. is it a good idea to remove a coil from the rear? and should i set the camber to 0 when i get it aligned?

 

I just read your build thread and checked out the pics. Solid build. Inspiring in some ways.

 

thanks man, means alot.. that was on the old tune.. the car was recently retuned at 19psi on straight q and is viscious.. 600whp 400tq
