traction

i have a 94 z28 with edelbrock shorty's, 3" inch exhaust with a flowmaster chambered muffler no cat, 52mm tbody, maf sensor, k&n cold air, msd wires, eibach pro kit and a hypertech programmer 3 anyways i took it to the track last night for the first time last night and i ran horrible. my first run i stomped on and spun all the way through 2nd halfway down the track and had to get out of the gas and get back in it. i ran 15.6 @90, pretty pathetic. i ran a 14.3 @ 100 after that and had to baby it off the line help me out.

yeah i think your right, i was runnin 18x9 1/2 Z06's with about 20psi. i still have the stock salad shooters so i am gonna have to mount some mickeys on them. i know i got the power just zero traction. what sucks is the track is closing down for winter and i won't be able to try again for a while.

i hear nitto's are more graceful (until worn) in the rain. I had no problems last time it rained driving carefully with TCS on. since i only roll about 2 miles to work and back i run them all year long. (no snow down here!).

plus they are cheap at tires.com
