@ out track we dont get 60' times (only when a national event is present, do they bringout that equipment)
I do think traction is the problem. to answer you question. @ present im using street tyres. i have 15's and 17's at my disposal.
I do know with Semi's slicks or ET Street , i could do a burnout and improve my time. and also a Quaife LSD will be a huge upgrade BUT there are other people running impressive times on street tyres and with open diff's
What i have done to improve traction is as follow's. i have Custom shocks all round. t
Front = 90% Rebound and 10% Compression. (shortend shock's)
Rear = 10% rebound and 90% Comperssion.
I have had the rear coils raised and hardend so now the car sits with the arse in there air. i race street legal class so i have a full interior but everything else, spare wheel jack tools is out anything that can go is out!
despite the suspension being modified when i launch the car it still pulls liek a boat with the noise in the air. when teh car is on the dyno the motor lifts up a insane amount, many times i think fucked its going to break all the engine mounts at one go.
I launch the car @ 1 bar(100kw) and only in 3rd do i high boost(200kw's) i have done a exist speed of 170kph before so i know teh car is fast, its just getting it to runn the times...
When i launch the car i do "preload the suspension" buy holding up the hand break so there is NOT a Huge shock to the drive train. and after 2nd gear when i shift i dont take my foot of the gas...
i do have a phantom grip on order, i know its not a real LSD and i know alot of peopele hate them but i have seen them work well and last for years and there is 2-3 people on dragtimes who run the same motor and gearbox setup as me with Phantom grips and there times are in the 11's..
