Turn traction control off. My bolt on auto 3.23 would spin the mickey thompsons so i would think yours should easly.

yeah, what ill usually do is give it what it wants down low and as the rpms climb ease off slowly to keep traction.. and keep the 1st to 2nd shift kinda easy

I don't shift the car myself, but starting in first it will spin like crazy.

Leaving the car in OD or just D, it will spin like crazy off the line or try to slide the ***-end around at a 30 punch.

Geez my relatively stock 5.0 will even roast 275s in 1st and into 2nd also. o.o

My car loses traction in 1st after like 3K-3500 RPM. Then, burns em as I shift 2nd and 3rd, and gets a nice scratch on 4th. The LS1 is just a top end power monster. Down low, I call mine kinda weak when compared to my 94 Z28 that I had. The 94 was much more of a tire roaster. Not that the T/A wont do it, its just the camaro had more power where it was necessary.

what's your altitude? 8000 feet above sea level?
are you sure its an LS1?

exactly... i'd expect those narrow bridgestones to at least start spinning at the top of first.

i do have issues as the RPM's climb keeping traction sometimes. i have had traction until about 5k RPM's and then busted 'em loose at around 40mph or so. I've also had it go loose at 60+ when i dropped it down to pass i tend to like traction so i don't complain when it hooks.

i make 415rwhp m6 granted i have 275 555r's but i make alot more power from a 1st gear roll it dead hooks

ls1curt

iTrader: (31)

yea, ok so i guess im good. of course the auto cars are gonna spin but i know that my suspension is really soft in the back to which might make it hook better too

therobman

iTrader: (39)

its funny because the only suspension i have is boxed lca's and a non adjustable panhard bar with some lowering springs i guess me and you have the perfect combo to hook up

ls1curt

iTrader: (31)

haha yea i guess so. did you box your lca's yourself?

With your DIY boxing, good tires, 4.10s, worn stock clutch - you're really gonna have to try to burn 'em. My guess is, that clutch is slipping a good bit when you hammer it. Get a new clutch and it will get easier, for sure, but you have a good hooking combo.

Melchoir is right, higher gears means fewer tire RPMs per engine RPMs and harder to spin, easier to hook. Take this one to the bank.

they came boxed on the car and my clutch is a brand new ls7 with 800 miles and i cant break them loose and if i do its a tiny bit and hooks everytime in 2nd

Must be them tires are hookin on these nice hot days.

ls1curt

iTrader: (31)

yea, i think if i go to the track with the slicks ill def burn the clutch. hows the spec stage 2?

bill12690

iTrader: (4)

speaking of, i could REALLY use a new clutch...
Lol, thanks man.. appreciate it..

edit: since everyones discussing suspension etc, only thing i've got is SFC's, LCA relocation brackets, a pro kit, and as far as tires runnin some firehawk 275's that could use some more tread, but still have a little left.

alright i can maybe diagnose the problem.....
How much air pressure do you have in the rears. that would be the first thing, but you should smoke them all through first
