So what can I do to aid traction??

[StoplightWarrior]

Best tires?

Other good parts that I need?

501rwhp + Kumho's from a stop = me going nowhere. :nonono:

bfg drag radials, irs bushings, qa1/strange rear shocks

solid swap is the best way with a good get of 315 dr's.

How much is the swap?

I don't mean to sound like a smart-ass but...... cheapest way would be to just... DON'T give it as much gas, I don't know if it would work, but you could try it!

I don't know.... ask some of the guys who have as much or more horsepower than you.

DR's and throttle control...could help...or so I hear

Very hard to feather the throttle when you've got another fast car sitting next to you who launches like a mofo and leaves you behind.

I agree. But the sweetest part about that is the hook reel and pass.. Let them think they bagged it and than slaughter em...

Yea...that's nice to do against maybe a 14sec car but when you're racing a 12sec car like a Vette, STi, etc, you can't let em get too far ahead or else you're toast...especially on the streets when I'm not going to do more than 90-100 anyway.

Mickey Thompson Drag radials - Hands down the best tire I have EVER owned. They seem to be lasting longer than I suspected also. Over 3,000 hard miles on them and plenty of tread left.

RIGHT...this is where the throttle control...aids traction...you can leave decent without spinning the piss outta em...granted I have yet to master the art every time...but more often than not you can get the Dr's to bite...your halfshafts don't want you to pull a 5k dump while your racing your "12 second" cars on sticky tires..granted this is my opinion.. I ran kumhos' on a light bolt on LS1 and they spun like it was their job...I can only imagine on a 500rwhp snake oke: :burnout:

 

[StoplightWarrior]

Yea, I definitely need to lose the Kumhos
