2000 TA 4l80e Spohn Torque arm, adjustable Trailing arms, Panhard Bar running 285 Invo's. Alignment has bee done already. Car tends to kick out left during power accel when tires loose traction and during hard shifts. Can this be improved or just by product of more power than traction?

SFC's helped that out a LOT for me. Just spins straight now and won't kick out unless I want it to.

better tires id vote for. my 275 general UHP's give me a hard time Breaking traction..

but gears/power yada yada yada could also be affecting that

Was thinking of offsetting the rear tire press by 2lbs or so...but not sure which one to decrease?

try less in right, the correct way is to run equal psi and adjust rear thrust line , when you did align was the rear thrust line adjusted ? what settings ? my car likes about + 0.07 rear thrust line, I think it should be within +/-
0.13
just my $ 0.02'

My car has always kicked right just a touch but stays there, doesn't want to keep rotation. I think I need to bring the right rear tire forward a little by making the LCA shorter...

Thanks will try adjusting air a bit... did have the rear adjusted using string to body method...

Watts Link. It sucks that you have to spend $650, but it works and WILL fix this 100%. It is the panhard bar rear that is killing you.

Will it though? What does the watts link do differently from the PHB that prevents the car from actually sliding left on a launch?

Let me back off a little on my certainty in that statement.
My understanding is as follows:
I don't remember which one it is, but one tire lifts when the back compresses and the other when the rear lifts. That is because of the angular design of the panhard bar. The watts link, on the other hand, places equal power due to the lateral/parallel design. Instead of the one tire squatting while the other lifts, they act equally.

Again, I want to say that I don't have a complete understanding about the watts link. I hope this info is correct. If someone can chime in to correct or dismiss my info, that would be great.

It's all good. I'm not calling you out. I have this problem too in the events I race in. I'm sure it happens due to many reasons, but the better I can understand it, then the better chance I have at fixing it.

Dropped Rt rr by 3psi... results look promising so far...will keep testing....

Update... during lil run with new Shelby Mustang it became appearant as T/A kicked out hard left towards it's rt front fender during 1-2shift that prob still exist. Any way seems that 10# of boost is enough to handle the Shelby...

PHB forces the body to shift when the rear suspension compresses or lifts due to one end being attached to the body and the other end to the body. Watts link allows the body to NOT follow an arc, but rather move up and down only- NO LATERAL MOVEMENT- NO rear "shifting" as the rear susp moves. Is THIS the kicking out the O P is referring to? I'm not so sure. I think the kicking out is actually his tires losing adhesion due to a lot of power being applied, shocks not keeping the rear tires planted, high cornering speeds or something along those lines(?).
