I cant seem to get any traction!! I have an 02 formula m6 that has brand new 245 50 16 bfg g force kdws's, lakewood boxed lca's, and umi performance sfc's. I am about to install a 35mm front sway bar, but that shouldnt effect this much. the engine is stock other than a lid. If I launch at anything above 2k rpm, all I do is spin the tires. and when they spin, they dont really squeal like a normal burn out, they just kind of hiss at you like worn out tires would do. If I launch low enough not to spin much, I bog the engine down. the lca's seem to have helped with my wheel hop problem. What am I doing wrong? What is the best way to launch? any other suspension parts I should get to improve traction?

Practice feathering the clutch/gas some, practice makes perfect.

Im pretty sure that your formula and my WS6 are indentical in the wheelwells and Ive got no problems with my stock 275/40/17s w/ a 52mm offset.

If you want serious traction, get Drag Radials, those will spin too though.

LCA relocation brackets will help alot, lowered or not, so will a Torque Arm.

I've got a 2000 formula and run 315/35's out back with no problem

Definitely add LCAs and brackets if you haven't done so already. When I did that, my traction dramatically increased.

Traction problems? 315's are the answer.

Oh, 275's came stock on Formula WS-6's, so they'll fit just fine. Heck, even my 315's fit with only a little BFH mod.

u have a stock sized street tire..what do u think is going to happen if u launch at above 2k-3k?? ofcourse its going to spin... best suggestion is to go a drag radial and lower tire pressure. probably spin a little still but def. a big difference. u should get relocation brackets for the lca's and torque arm will help alot as well if money is not an issue get some aftermarket rear shocks as well. if u really dont do alot of cornering or highways runs or turns a 50/50 rear shock set up should be good and still be daily driveable. but like someone else said practice launching the m6.
