Default MT 275/60s??

I can't for the life of me get these things to hook. I have tried multiple air pressures, shock settings, and different burn out styles. What is the ssecret to hooking on these things? I got it to hook pretty good once but only left at like 2k. I want to leave off the brake and just don't think they will hook at all.

Nice smoky burnout, anywhere from 15-20lbs of air pressure, and the correct shock setting should get it done.. Your car being cam only with no power adder it should hook easily on those tires..

I have tried the quick light burnout, but not at those psi levels. I have always ran my DRs in the past at close to 15psi. Do these like the higher psi levels?

try some relocation brackets in the rear of your car if you still have it lowered. the bars are pointing the wrong way. they need to be level. i will almost put money on it that it will fix your problem. ......what you running in that thing now anyway??

The best so far was a 6.99 with a 1.48 60ft at about 97mph. But like I said, that was almost playing with it out of the hole. I have some relocation brackets at the house but haven't had a chance to get them on.

I run 12-15 HOT in my 275/50 depending on track prep. 0 on the front QA1s and 50/50 on the rear Comps. Stock Internals, on motor.
