how do u guys hook!!

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 *** 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

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

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.

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.
