I have a 08 SS/TC with dejon charge pipes and HKS Bov I was looking at buying a DC strut tower bar but I didn't know if it'll work with piping anyone have any insight on this before I fork out the money??

 

Wont fit... Sorry...

 

so what else should i do to help catch some traction on street tires?

 

Better tires, mounts, and CAB's.

Check out our website...

 

^^^ This

I will get getting rotated tranny mounts this spring. If you have a CAI, you could also look into an Ingalls Stiffy TD. Unfortunately a TD wont work with the stock air box or an SRI.

I know that Eibach makes a 29 mm front sway bar... The LNF stock is 23 or 24, cant remember.... Though I dont know if this would help cuz I always heard you wanted a smaller sway bar on a FWD car...

Im sure someone else will chime in to confirm or correct me haha Great thing about this site is knowledge

But no strut tower bars/braces work on LNF's to my knowledge.

 

I have good tires, What are CAB's

 

All my mods are: Dejon CAI, TR8 ic, Dejon CP with HKS, Badmab Catless DP, Muffler delete and HP Tuned

 

I don't think a strut bar would help for traction anyway? Heck I didn't even know mounts would help put down traction I thought they were just for wheel hop.

 

Can't get traction if your hopp'n

 

I'm not hoppin i'm straight spinning

 

Better tires, or dont launch at such a high RPM...

 

I spin at 40 all i do is hit the gas, right now i'm on indy wide oval 500 stock size

 

^^^^^this happends to me too.... Whats the psi on your tires??

 

Driver mod maybe? lol jk

Do you know what all your tune entails? maybe have a re-tune and get a reduced boost 1st gear and some more fine tuning on there to make the boost not come in at full force??? I know ZZP can do this, they are doing my car in the spring. I know depending on pavement, my car stock spins from 35-40 if its cement... Other things you can try is let some air out of the tires... I usually run mine 32-35 though they are rated at 51 max psi... Ive had them as low as 26 before the TPMS started bitching at me haha

BTW, CAB's = Control Arm Bushings...

You could do poly, but I hated poly back when I had my camaro... dont know how it is on cobalts or if they offer other CAB's than poly...

 

I'm running 33psi ish almost all the time i'm not done the tuning part yet i'm still looking to up boost but i gotta solve the traction issues first i'm gonna run 25psi of boost looking for 340 whp and 360wtq but all that means nothing if i go nowhere

 

33 psi is one of the reasons why you are spinning. I always run 35 or so while driving to work an back. But when I go out to do some pulls or run it, I lower it to 20 - 24 psi and it helps alot.

 

It's hard putting down power on 18 inch rims. But I agree why spend money on power if you can't put it down. Try getting some traction bars

 

Know where I can pick some traction bars?

 

Have you contacted Powell about what your looking at/for? They have a few things I haven't seen other places offer such as SFC's.... start there and get his opinion, John is a wealth of knowledge I have come to learn...

 

He's talking about boost, you're talking about tire pressure...

 

33psi on the stock turbo lmao.....might wanna turn that waaaaaay down before your buying more then traction mods.



No strut bars clear the lnf...eibach front is a waste of money

 

A proper suspension goes a long way also. Drag set ups differ from track set ups.

 

33psi in the tires,
right now tuned to 21-23psi of boost looking to bump up to 25psi of boost
just figured i would clear this up

 

Im sorry I was talking about the psi in the tires. I was trying to tell him if he ran lower tire pressure it would help with the spinning.

 

conti extreme summer dw tires. im tuned to 22psi, used to spin all the way threw second, threw those babys on, almost no spin in second.
