i went out tonight, had to race all motor cuz i have no traction with juice. Anyway, i destroyed a brand new GT from a 40 roll to 100 all motor, and i juiced a vr4 from 70-120 and kicked his ass too, but i loose everything from a stop and below 50mph rolls with my tires!! Are u guys with the happy juice having the same problems, it's like i can't use it racing at all, unless i'm using full slicks and i get a street twin. THanks.......

A) it's been way too cold to spray it,stuff gets brttle in this season.
B)1.51 60' on stock torque arm,and stock rear shocks springs :D

Also,unless you have a progressive,like my maximizer,street traction is impossible on anything shy of drag radials,and sometimes they dont hold it down.
I spprayed mine with a 75 shot and the progressive with regular radials,and just smoked through first and into second.


Unfortunately,it takes KILLER tires and a good drivetrains to make it work.

thanks racin, thats what i figured. And yeah, ppl have told me not to spray when it's like 20 degrees out, but i already went thru 4 bottles juicing 100 shots, lol. I guess i should lay off the juice for a bit, wait till it gets alittle warmer. I do have et streets, but when i use them, i can hit it hard but then 50% of the time the clutch lets go and a spin the clutch up. I'll order a street twin, and use full race slicks on the street then, I'm tired of losing..........

I never spray in 1st on street tires and when I hit 2nd I floor it only with a 50 shot on street tires...thinking of moving up to 75 for the street

I use a set of BFG dr's. They hook up pretty good for me. And shooting the juice out of the hole. :D

With 100 shot, traction breaks briefly when it hits in 2nd gear (sometimes none at all if the tires are pretty hot) and no traction loss in 3rd. But when I tried the 150 shot a few times I had no traction at all in 2nd... just spun all the way into and through part of 3rd.

This is all on the street.

Relevant specs: stock engine, Street Twin, Nitto DRs, billet LCAs w/ lowering brackets on lowest setting, poly torque arm bushing.

when we put a stall and a gear in the car it went slower but then we got drop brackets and gained .2 sec in 1/8 mi with just them and the car wont spin out the hole with BFG drs

With my Nitto DR's, I'm able to spray at the end of 1st and it holds pretty good.

cool, thinking about getting DR's. THough i will have to get them in 315 size, will this wide of a tire have adverse affects on traction due to weight distribution??? It seems i have worse tracftion with 315's overall.........

I don't spray in first since going from stock gearing to 4.11's.

I spray at about 4500-5000 RPMS in 1st on an A4 with all the mods in sig minus headers w/ a 100 shot on street tires w/ no traction problems. That was before I had my purge working though, so it probably hits a little harder now. Planning on spraying in 2nd with the 150 shot and DRs in a few months :) I'm talking about the track, though, street is a different story.

Traction:confused: what's that???

I just can't wait to put my Nitto's back on when it get's warm enough, cause in this cold they don't even help!!

I can't help. On the street I break 'em loose at 85mph in 4th when the N2O hits. Basically, it isn't usable on the street with my combo. If I had the desire to use it on the street and had a relatively mild setup I would get some sort of a progressive controller. My friend Bob Kennedy sells one from "Perfect Power" and I am tempted to try it just for fun.

I have never even thought of spraying the gas on street tires in any gear below 3rd. At the track Et Streets with a pro stock burn out would still spin through second gear on the gas. Really helped when we got ET DRAGS.
