if you cant catch traction you are going to be slower power is only good for how much you can harness

Its called slipping the clutch, and feathering it until it catches then ride it on out down the track.

Trust me my buddy (aaron in the flowmaster-vs-magnaflow exhaust vid) has a M5 s/c v6, before he didn't have a tlok he spun and spun, finally he started feathering it until it caught / easing in the throttle.

well yeah a driver mod always helps lol

If he has an auto...
Getting traction just takes practice. You can't just floor it off the line, you have to lightly get into the throttle once you feel it stop spinning and hook green light to lay into it.

Not bashing you, just never heard that before.

01-04 is the strongest... says after market rebuilders, like tom

obdnanr · February 23rd, 2008, 04:47 PM

ya it will... if you can't launch your not going to see the full potential of the car...

there is a vid in the clubhouse of a cobra vs. a skittle... the skittle walked all over this cobra cause the driver couldn't even shift

nah not really...

obdnanr · February 23rd, 2008, 05:12 PM

well it will be alot easier to launch if the tires dont spin out of control. i mean this is the second time ive ever been to the track so im sure ill get better.

Onemanzu · February 23rd, 2008, 05:22 PM

obdnanr · February 23rd, 2008, 05:26 PM

+100 OMZ!

If you cant launch now, an 8.8 isn't gonna help you launch. The tlok will help out but drive mod ftw.

SlideFox · February 23rd, 2008, 08:48 PM

This is gonna be sweet build!!! Please be sure to post plenty of progress pictures!!!!

obdnanr · February 23rd, 2008, 08:48 PM

um the 8.8 31 spline axle kit with 3.73 gears comes with t-lok. how about we shut the fuck up and when i get it put on and broken in ill post the number.

obdnanr · February 23rd, 2008, 08:49 PM

well thats if i dont get banned for being a drunk ass who doesnt like sss lol

Which is why I said the tlok will help.

Doesn't matter if you had an 8.8 or a 7.5 with a tlok it'll help you launch. Biggest reason for a better rear end is so you can launch at higher rpms, if you can't launch now launching higher most certainly isn't gonna help you. Understand?

Oh and when people say axle kit, some reason I think of just the axles. I'm guessing you bought a complete 8.8 rear end with 31spline axles and 3.73 gears?
