launch problem
let me start with i have 4.10's, lower springs, adj. PHB, LCA and relocation brackets(bottom hole), nitto 555 275/??/17 (cant remember) , i think its about 35-38psi all around. power wise i just hav the SLP lid and flo pac.
On my launch i pull hard to the right and im spinning all they way into 2nd then partly through 2nd and spinning a lil more into 3rd.from a roll i also spin through second if i do get traction from 20mph-ish. i got the PHB and LCA thinking that would fix it but all that did was get rid of wheel hop. how do i fix this? been trying to race my friends 2011 5.0 but cant cause of this.
1. i dont know when the car was aligned last, i bought it with 4.10 and springs already idk if he did it. worth getting it aligned?
2.also could it just be the psi in the tires? i kept it at 36ish cause its a DD, lower it?
3. new tires? mine have around 70% tread but i heard i may need DR
4. more suspension? ive seen people with more mods then me with less suspension and hav no problems

If you need action, you need traction. You can have every suspension mod in the book and if you don't have tires, forget about it. A drag radial will help your traction problem without a doubt. I'm still on street tires but I'm waiting to get my nto5r's mounted. I can tell you right now, after I installed my torque arm from Umi, my traction problems were a thing of the past, and im still on street tires. And lower the psi in your tires.

1. Lower your pressure to like 20psi
2. Big *** burnout
3. Dont punch it, you wont hook. get a g tech and practace launching until you can get a fast constant launch.
It does not matter if you can hook a 1.6 on the street once if you cant make it happen every time. I am hooking solid 1.9s on the street and a 2.0 on a shitty street. but I have different tires
