Okay let me first say that I don't have the money for a 12-bolt right now... other things are priority over it, intercooler, cam kit, short block. Anyways, I was at the races last night just for ****s and giggles and I raced 2 cars, I raced a 66ish nova with some older white guy driving it. It was an auto on slicks and skinnies. When I launched I got some wheelspin in first but I tried to feather it out. By the time I shifted to third I was pulling him HARD. He false started (if there is such a thing in street racing) so I think I would have creamed him if we both launched at the same time. I also ran an LS1 firehawk... This thing was quick but I would have ran him had I been able to get any mesely amount of traction... Traction basically makes or breaks the car in a race and I need a healthy dose of it! What suspension upgrades can I do to increase me traction??? I know once the cam and all the other bolt-ons I have coming go on traction will not be in my vocabulary unless I do something about it now...

I was thinking, LCA's, torque arm. That's about it though, I don't want to risk stickier tires until that rear end comes in. Thanks.

 

What kind of tires are you running? Power without traction is useless.

 

Your sig doesn't mention control arms or relocation brackets. Both are a must for traction.

 

A MUST? Don't tell my stock suspension/stock motored '93 Z that...LOL I guess 1.73 60 FT. times are bad? Of course, I guess 12.82 @ 105.9 is, too...LOL I've seen people put relocation brackets on and LOSE traction

I guarantee you'd get even better times than that with control arms and relocation brackets.

 

I just got the cam/heads/headers/etc. installed on the car. I should finish it up this week. Traction will probably be more of an issue this season. I'll let you all know.

I would also recommend a set of Subframe Connectors....Any brand will do...If you think you'll have ground clearance problems, I would go with a set of Tubular SFC's..if not, then go with a set of Boxed SFC's...

 

You might lower the rear tire pessure down to 30 to 34 lbs and see if this helps.My02
