alright heres the deal i raced a srt-4 last night from a rolling start going about 20 in first gear

i mashed the gear and even going 20 my tires spun out a second or 2 before they caught

by then the srt pulled away but i stayed with him the rest of the race

what will help give me the traction i need so this doesnt happen again

i mean its cool to have that much power in first gear but not when its going to lose u a race

 

use hp tuners to pull boost in first gear until higher rpms... helps a lot.

 

isnt there something easier like a traction bar or new tires or something???? lol

oh and whats that boost limiter called?

 

you can go 20 in first gear? First gear is so short i just go to second. i guess i just dont know what i got with my HPtuners software. i dont even mess with it

 

i was saying 20 mph and u can go up to like 35 in first gear

 

i know i cant. i have to shift at like 15 mph. and yeah i always spin in 1st rolling. weird

 

y do u shift at 15 mph that just makes you not use the full first gear which then in turn makes u start at a lower rpm in second which also means a lower psi

even though u slip it still is alot faster than shifting at 15

 

You Said Traction And First Gear In The Same Sentence, Hahahahaha.

 

haha...yeah true..I hardly get any traction in first gear.

 

I also have all the traction mods minus new tires and CAB's and I still had problems.. you can control the boost bypass with hptuners (I.E. I run 50 % boost in 1st then incremently increase to full on by 6000 rpm) I hit just under 40 in 1st gear (7400 redline but shift at 7200), but new tires will def help since the pirellis < traction.

 

would ingalls engine damper help for the torque? but yeah the tires suck i want new ones!!

 

ingalls helped a bit.

 

can i get a link?

and how do u get 7400 redline???

 

HP tune your car, and pull poost in 1st gear, and have it gain as RPM rise. I can easily spin in 1st, but it is also VERY easy to control it and keep them from spinning.

Called 'launch control' to the people 'in the know'

 

can i get a link???

and do u guys reccommend a certain type of racing tire or traction bar???

 

I have the Bwoody bars... but www.cobalt-addiction.com will be coming out with a much lower priced set... they also sell everything thats on my car (minus the ingalls)

 

I just launch in first all spin that hook up right away in second.

 

k thanks it would be nice if i was able to get on that site though lol

 

The link works for me. They have a very good reputation.

 

? can't you just search for them? I mean thier a supporting vendor of this site. It's not hard to find tier link.

PS)it works for me?

 

Make sure you have the latest flashplayer update

go search the forums for your info. click on "search" and type in HP Tuners
that will answer 100% of your questions about limiting boost. hp tuners is not a "boost limiter" (u mean boost controller anyways), it is software that allows u to tune different perameters of your car.
basically you can limit the amount of boost in different gears so it bleeds off. i kno a lot of ppl run 50% boost in 1st for launching purposes

search for tires aswell.

 

Limiting boost in first is cool, and a good idea but, I like my way better. Don't use all the power in first (aka: don't floor it) until it hooks, then you have the advantage of having the power incase you "need" it.

 

better tires.. torque forward products to kill wheel hop

 

i agree those arent bad times either for being over a mile high`
