Traction Woes... Need advice from the experts! I used to have better launches with my stock F1's and stock clutch, and NO mods!
Now I have all the mods listed in my sig (inclusind headers, hotcam, etc...) and I can't launch to save my life. It seems that my new clutch (Star Spec Stage III carbon) actually grabs, and my Dunlop 5000's do not!
It's weird, its almost like my stock slipping clutch kinda helped my launches because the tires would not start spinning as easy. Now I can't stop them from spinning... (or I just bog...)
I know my car has much more power than it did before but my 0-60 times (compliments of G-tech) are worse now! This sucks!
Any advice would be appreciated. (I have not upgraded my LCA yet, and I have a stock rear which likes to hop areound a lot!)

Re: Traction Woes... Need advice from the experts! You're wasting your time without a good set of tires! Even a BFG or Nitto drag radial would be a huge improvement over a set of regular radial tires.
