Help I need Traction

MustangOne · July 25th, 2008, 10:39 AM

Ok here is what I have,

Motor:
427W Stroker
486HP / 487 Torque
TCI C4
2400 RPM TCI Stall converter

9" Rear End 31 Spline
3:55 Gears, Spooled
Cal Tracs with the rear pinion angle at 5 degrees

Nitto NT555R 245/45/17 extreme drag radial Tires.

What is going on, Any time I go full throttle It just spins the tires, at any speed.
I have to roll in very slow and feather the throttle to keep it from spinning at any Speed.

The tires clear the fender by 1/16" and clear the leaf springs by a 1/2"

Is there anything else im missing?

HMUSN · July 25th, 2008, 10:49 AM

stiffer suspension perhaps.

Vinyl66 · July 25th, 2008, 11:07 AM

lower gear ratio? of use a fender flare to get larger tires under that beast

69fastback · July 25th, 2008, 12:23 PM

Too much torque

MustangOne · July 25th, 2008, 12:51 PM

The Rear Leafs are 4 1/2 mid eye leaf springs. has 2" wheel flairs now...

KYB Shocks.

What I am looking at doing is putting 3:25 Gears in it.

zers · July 25th, 2008, 02:05 PM

4 link suspension?

Stick a spare tire in the trunk?

69fastback · July 25th, 2008, 03:58 PM

VHT is your friend. Just give them a good soaking every night...... lol

built351w · July 25th, 2008, 04:08 PM

i think some bigger tires are in need......... either that or you can put weight in the trunk

460brevill · July 25th, 2008, 05:25 PM

weight ?

MustangOne · July 25th, 2008, 07:05 PM

I would Love to put bigger tires on it. If I Could.

Adding Weight is Like taking Horse power away.

IDK if I want to do that.

zers · July 26th, 2008, 04:52 PM

well, it'll help put the power to the ground, 400hp at the ground is better than 400hp up in smoke

460brevill · July 27th, 2008, 01:01 PM

what good is unhooked hp?i hope you find the problem.even with a set of M.T.s i had problems.had to drop a few rpm comeing out.

It is Funny how VHT Works.

69fastback · August 4th, 2008, 11:01 AM

Yup. They're much better about track prep up there a TRP. Thunder Valley hasn't heard of it, and it sucks.

MustangOne · August 4th, 2008, 12:36 PM

You have to come up and do a test and tune with us.
We are going to get a group of about 4 of us and go play, about the 3rd friday of Sept.

69fastback · August 4th, 2008, 01:29 PM

Just let me know and if I'm free, I'll come up. I probably won't run mine becuase it's slower the Mr. frostys ice cream truck, and it doesn't have an overflow tank, so it won't pass tech, but I'll come hang out.
