Today I went to the track for the first time in 2 years and I sucked so bad.My best run was 10.1 at like 70.xx.I can't get a good launch and my R/T time was like 1.0XX and I missed 3rd gear.I added a Quife LSD,Stg 2+ clutch Tein SS-P w/EDFC,Megan Headers,Injen CAI,Invidia CB and Im not tuned either lol but I cant get it to grab in first it just wants to spin like a mad dog on crack.is there anything I can do to get that spin.I rant a 9.2XX 1/8 before all my mods.I only had a Intake at the time.

No if you look at the burn out that I tried it did not want to do it it wanted to pull and grip and my dumb driveing was with the e-brake to get the rear to losen up other wise it want to grab and hug alot.
Do you have a proper allignment? It is an easy way to free up some power. If the tires are toed in or out the car has to basically drag them sideways. Also, the wider wheels will give more rolling resistance once the car is moving. As for the tires spinning on the launch, then you need better tires or better track prep. BTW, what is your 60'?
My 6o' is bad 2.5XX I might try to lose some air I think I had full tire preasure when I ran lol.
i got some icw 18's on my car with khumo estas sports. leaving like i would at a stop light i went 9.773 at 73.6 in the 8th mile last friday night with just a injen short ram intake. i feel like thats pretty good with heavy 18's on the car. try slipping ur clutch an not dumping it. should cut out most of ur spinning.

Ok I will try that next time I am going tomarrow to get my car tunned and my ECU flashed to get my stuff working hopefuly better with each other and get my A/F ratio's back in order.
