Cant hook up

ocsailor86 · June 13th, 2007, 03:08 PM

Hey i have a 96 mustang, with stock wheels and tires and some motor work done. I cant seem to hook at all. First gear off the line just spins like crazy. Do i need to let some air pressure out of my back tires or just get new wheels and tires?

MustangMatt96GT · June 13th, 2007, 03:12 PM

what gears do you have and are you an auto or a stick? And wat PSI are you running?

Boomer · June 13th, 2007, 03:31 PM

I think you are launching the car at to high of a rpm, granted if it is a stick.

Corn_fed_98Cobra · June 13th, 2007, 04:32 PM

Are you on the track or on the street?

1slo5.0 · June 13th, 2007, 04:39 PM

Slicks.

ocsailor86 · June 13th, 2007, 07:30 PM

Yeah its a 5 speed. And im leaving the line at 3 grand. Wich may be too high. As far as i know it has stock gears but i dunno

Why would the stock rear end fail due to slicks? The clutch or universal joints will fail first.

HMUSN · June 13th, 2007, 09:45 PM

try it :wink

and no i am not buying you a new rear end if you do

MustangMatt96GT · June 13th, 2007, 09:48 PM

I agree that the clutch and u-joints will go first, but the rearend is also able to go pretty quickley!

ujslost · June 13th, 2007, 09:52 PM

stock 8.8 rear ends can take a shit load of power, the axles might break, but i doubt it on a stock car

HMUSN · June 13th, 2007, 10:00 PM

for $100 you can have the slicks posted in that pic.

your more than likely to resell them to fix your car when you have about 5 launches on them

ujslost · June 13th, 2007, 10:37 PM

If your serious I might just take you up on that offer.
And you can come watch me make those 5 passes!

ujslost · June 13th, 2007, 10:39 PM

PM sent. let me know if it didnt go thru

HMUSN · June 13th, 2007, 10:40 PM

that would be pus shipping.
and I have no Idea what that would be.

they won't fit your rims man.

you need 15 inch drag rims to run these.
your better off with drag radials to be honest.

slicks are for drag cars

ujslost · June 13th, 2007, 10:44 PM

wheels aren't a problem
shipping to 35950

ujslost · June 13th, 2007, 10:48 PM

dont know if you read the thread, but Im about to put a 5.0 car together, and these would be perfect.

HMUSN · June 13th, 2007, 10:49 PM

I can get a shipping quote to you in the morning at best.

don't be suprised if it runs close to another $100 though...

tires aren't light or small.

and mind you... I am not talking about a v6 wheel...they won't fit either.

you need a drag wheel.

these tires are wide.

12 inches in fact

HMUSN · June 13th, 2007, 10:52 PM

call it $200 at most.

and if it's less i'll send you back the cash.

err... I'll just get you the shipping quote.

ujslost · June 13th, 2007, 10:59 PM
