You need good rubber , drop the pressure to 20psi , clean them good(yep the roast thing again  ) and launch . Good thing is you can kill it and try it both ways with the flip of the switch . You can't go wrong here . Keep the fan running switch on and independently shut (or turn back on) the traction control . Do run's both ways and see what happens . I made out better w/o any traction control . I hit 12.7 at 109mph (P.B. so far) with traction issues out of the hole . I know drag radials will drop me to the very low 12's with my mods , 11's are easily in reach with juice but as I am watching the half- shaft drama unfold.....I'm not so sure it's worth it yet so I'm waiting on the DR's. Even though it will shave time....that much traction ....and torque...may simpily not be worth it yet . If you get it I think you will like it . If I remember correctly ....we did a run together at E-town and you pulled a 13.0 stock and it wasn't exactly the perfect weather that day . I think you will see a drop in times w/o traction control...if you haven't already with your other mods since I've seen you run . If your spin-tech's aren't good for shaving time..........they still are fun to listen to.... -Mike. |
Thanks Mike for info...Yeah the spintechs do sound nice...I want to reduce TM becuse i will be runing a ZEX kit soon....And of course the fan mos is a plus to in warmer weather...Im between the GSM fan mod or maybe I should get the Stage 3 B&G flash...im confused...LOLI went to the track with will the other day everyone was running way off i still was hiting my 13.0 so that either means my car is very consistant or i did pick up some HP with the mufflers and the TCM flash from the dealer? I have to sit here and think this one out.....$200 vs. close to $900 for the B&G.....
