Traction issues

ByPopularDemand · April 1st, 2007, 06:30 PM

Ok what would cause me to get zero traction whan a hammer it from a roll...I did it on friday and couldn't hook on dry street...my tires have quite a bit of tread left on em too.

a t-loc
and some good rear suspension and you should be able to hook up better.

true...

get some DR's and you'll hook

Onemanzu · April 1st, 2007, 10:13 PM

or are you talking like you 'hammered' it and nothing happened?

cuz that would just flat out suck... like a snapped driveshaft yea that would ruin my day...

It goes it just doesn't catch...guess I need a t lok...what do you mean be better rear suspension

ByPopularDemand · April 4th, 2007, 01:31 AM

And while we are at it...since I am just about done with simple boltons that will be any use Its time to get the rear done before The real engine work begins...now should I bild the 7.5 or get an 8.8 and gears for that rear...will the 7.5 be able to handle heads cam and nitrous(when I get it)

LanceD · April 4th, 2007, 01:48 AM

7.5 can handle up to around 350 hp. With a new cam and nitrous plus full bolt ons, I'd get the 8.8. Treat it right, ya know?

Plus, once you start "the real engine work" you'll definitely want a stronger rear end.

ByPopularDemand · April 4th, 2007, 01:54 AM

Thats what I was thinking...the 7.5 is good for now but I would eventually outgrow it
