I can't get a good consistent launch, as soon as the front end starts up, it drops back down and the back tires will slip. I'm running hosier 26x10 slicks. Right now I'm running 6.50s and 60' 1.42 to 1.45 has went 1.38 once with the motor detuned and only launching at 3000 rpm on the 2step. Anyone have any suggestions?
I think you could use a taller tire, but it will effect your gera ratio alot. You said you had CE shocks in the front. If you have CE in the rear they don't work good with cal tracs. They do not have enough dampening. Your car may be separating too fast in the rear, and then unloading the tire. If that is the case bigger tires wont help, as much as new shocks. Good luck
