yea u gotta be smelling tires cuz i really nvr smell clutch. my tire smoke like a baster when i ues LC

 

clutch will spin and grab because of the torque management. it will only take so much power during launch control. it's hard to tell sometimes. and it will smell like burning rotten eggs.

 

Clutch burning is nasty. You cannot mistake it for the smell of rubber.

 

and it lingers for like an hour

 

With the tune turned on and Drag Radials I was leaving at 5000 rpm or more with no clutch slip. Im going out for the first time this year Friday to test out my new tires and tune adjustments. 25 lbs boost instead of 17

 

not everyones clutch is the same

 

I use launch control at the track and it almost does not spin. Doesn't smell like burning clutch neither.

Launch control is a mix of traction control and RPM management...

I never could launch the car at the track correctly without launch control, i just spin infinitely.

 

cuz our ratios are granny status. mine are actually taller (4.05), which is nice. i have no problem launching but then again i only make around 260 wheel. you guys are up in the 300's

 

Im testing out my new slicks tomorrow. Nitto NT555R DRs 275/40r17 V93 on Drag DR31s 9 inch wide . Tread is 10.9 inchs wide. 25.6 inchs tall. Ive been driving around in the area with them on and they didnt rub anywhere. They are a tight fit and would not work on a lowered car. Ill post up some pics.

 

^your trophy is in the mail.

 

It smeeeels a bit like big truck brakes burning

 

i like those wheels. isnt the tread supposed to go the other way? those are 555r right? rule of thumb: higher sidewall > width.

 

Ill check and make sure but I think the tires say this side out if I remember correctly on the side you can see

 

as long as it says outside on the outside man!

 

You just saved me !!! Their right and left and I need to switch them. It says right and left right on the tire. Thanks for the save

 

^^^ Time for a free remount & balance.

 

No there is actually a tire marked left and one marked rt with direction arrows and I had them on the wrong sides.

 

i used it a few times, smelled a burning clutch and tons of spin, so stopped using it. I figured dumping the clutch quicker would only result in more wheel spin so **** it.

 

See that's the thing, technically it won't. The TCS won't allow more than 30% (ish) wheelspin by comparing front to rear speeds (in 1st) when LC is active. If it detects stupid amounts, it will cut power (within reason) to bring it in check. You can't slip it and you can't just dump it...done right the TCS will do its job but if track prep is complete trash, you'll spin the entire way through 1st.

 

wow man! I'm glad i could help haha. tire place did that to me once. i was so pissed i called and complained, when they offered to switch it back i said **** you and changed it myself at my old job
