If you don't have traction problems...... You need more power!


To the original guy, it sounds like a slipping clutch.

And how can a tight clutch break your rear end when ya break the tires loose? It's the traction that causes the stress.

Glad I aint the only one who can't spin em in second....need more tourque I guess.
10 bolts dont break from power being put to the pavement. its the shock from fast clutch work and "chirpin the tires"

My stock clutch would chirp 2nd till about 7,500 miles, then started slipping. Put in a Mcleod kevlar and it'd chirp 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th.

hmm in my 84 z28 i could chirp 5th if i wanted on the 100$ 245's , and on my ss when i had shitty 275's on i could spin all of 1st 2nd and 3rd on the stock clutch powershifting... going 90 in third making tire smokes kinda dangerous and scary though... car doesnt like to stay straight if your in third. damn drifter influences... reason my 450hp z28 only ran a 1,2,3,traction issues- 14 in the qm for its fastest run at 119mph...my first try (not letting off to get traction)= to a 16.5et ... it spun 1st 2nd and some of third ( i was letting of the gas to try and get traction) think that car would smoke my ss if it had 285 drag radials. but id say its probly clutch problems. my ss only had lid and catback last time i spun em to 90.

Sounds like the 25's ain't cuttin loose for ya. That's a good thing, now from a dead stop, pu ti tin second anddrop the clutch. Not if your clutch is bad though, because if it's shot, you won't get home after this, but if it/s good, it makes for an interesting show
