TRACTION.....wow...since paul tuned my truck all I do is spin, even from like a 40-50 roll. If it put it to the floor I spin for like 5-7 seconds. My F1's still have like 1/2 tread left. Will traction bars help me out? Or will I just have to go out and buy 555R's

Traction bars wont help, they might actually make it worse.......get the 555's.




BTW I will get 1200 posts tonight :-)

 

40-50 m.p.h. roll. I don't think so. My truck runs 11s and I have a torque converter and 20s and I do not spin from a 50 m.p.h. roll.,
But yes, Nittos will help you out and traction bars won't.

Not a flame, I am glad to see you got a good tune.

Traction bars should help your launch if you are having trouble there too. New tires sounds like a better idea cause it will help all around. But don't melt those things too fast or it will get expensive.

 

Hate to tell you, Vinnie, but my truck is the same. Not EVERY romp at that speed, but I'll grab a good wheel when I hit it at about 45 on clean/dry, especially new pavement.

 

I can spin my tires at 50 mph vinnie!

Had my truck out tonight with the woman and on the way home from stir crazy I had to show MR. TA what it was all about, I blasted the beast (in a weaker program too) and I spun my tires for a good 2 to 3 seconds I would say. Enough to notice the rear end go sideways a little.

I'm sure the 10 degree weather has somthing to do with it though, HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

 

I agree...Mine also lights them up from a 40-50 mph roll burying the pedal....

Ice cold weather, and cold hard tires = SIDEWAYS rear end!!!

This defenitely doesn't happen over the summer..

 

Ya we've seen the way you drive


Me, I have no tranny mod's and as a mid 12 guy don't seem to have that problem over 30 or 40 no matter how cold it is. Now leaving from a dead spot, THATS A DIFFERANT PROBLEM

 

It sure is FUN!!! Suddenly the right hand joins the left hand on the steering wheel

 

mine will not spin the tires from a dead stop

 

Glad mine doen't spin at 50mph...

PEaCE....................

 

Looks like new tires are in my future. I'm probably slower than I was before because I spin for too long

 

I want a set of 335/40/20 inch tires for my trucks rear. Either that or nitto better come out with a drag radial 555R in 295/40/20" size for all us L guys.

 

If you saw the tread on my tires, you'd believe me when I saw I spin them anytime I drop the pedal. Ive got 10k on my tires, and they are just about as bald as a pair of slicks... Prolly not somethin to be proud of actually, cus the 800$ I was gonna be spending on mod's, is now going to tires...
