Help I need Traction
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? |

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.

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

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

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.
