#1 rule when doing some pounding........put some rubber on it!
If you have traction issues, then your tires are first to blame. If you have wheel hop issues, then there are a few things you can do.
#2 Buy the Torque Brace Fo Sho! (Then tension it properly or else it won't do squat)
#3 Buy a bigger stronger and heavier driver's side axle, don't touch the passenger side axle. you can even have a shop full of mexicans custom fab this axle for you. That's how we role in the Dusty South (no dirt here). The off balance driveshafts will actually help get rid of the wheelhop, and the beefier nature will last longer and be less prone to snapping under the stresses of an Indian Rugburn.
#4 Lower the front end, don't lower the rear you bafoon! This will help prevent weight transfer from coming off the front axles. Most D-bags that lower their FWD car go for looks and close the rear wheel gap......no no no........you need to prevent rearward weight transfer during acceleration.
#5 Learn to control your right foot. Kicking the gas pedal like Chuck Norris will not solve your problem.......unless you actually ARE Chuck Norris, in which case a swift kick always, always solves your problem!
#6 Practice Launch RPMs, properly launching will save you clutch, your axles, and your tires, and make you faster and more attractive to members of the opposite sex.
Once you have exhausted all of your leftover money from working at Pizza Hut, you should have a more enjoyable time drag racing your car at the track. And if you choose to race TOO MUCH on the street, you might be losing that Pizza Delivery job when you get your ticket.
It depends......if it's as fast as you then it's over with pretty quickly, if we're talking about me then it's over a little longer and usually ends the search with a cigarette, if we're referring to gramps over here, then you will probably be pounding on the keyboard looking for the results meanwhile he's still trying to get it up. That's why I hate dial-up.
