How is your track prep? Top notch? T&T?

What is your best 60 in other vehicles at that track?

Welcome to the forums!

Plenty of people here to help.

Here's some of the typical questions you'll get...

How much seat time?
How long of a burnout?
Prep? (Like above)

Seat time. About 6 passes last year. This year so far ive made about 25.

Burnouts usually 5-6 seconds.

Prep varies depending on the track. But even the top notch track my 60ft is the same.

Ive even tried disconnecting my front sway bar to help.

What does your camber look like in the rear?

You've got a lot of power, you're not squatting down on your inside tire edges and loosing traction are you?

Rolling into the power too quickly perhaps?

(Despite Jon's tune)

At this point, I'm honestly out of ideas, and really, I'm far from the expert around here, I just do a fair job of repeating others... ; )

Hi @Demid22 Welcome to the the forum!


What are you doing with the taser ?

What is your tire PSI?

Videos look good.

Can you post some timeslips too?

Linda :)

The Tazer will put your traction control back into street mode if you're using the line lock. This will slow you way down.

It appears you have everything and should not be spinning. Only thing I didn't see stated, is your suspension in street mode?

Yeah, always preset your custom mode, and then after line lock hit the srt button twice and it’ll put on your custom settings

I stopped using it. I use the plug for the HP module.

The only thing I noticed in the video is that it looked like you started your burnout in the water and then didn’t let it move out of it very far if at all. I would continue your burnout forward a bit it make sure your tires aren’t still wet. For sure if you are driving through a puddle…… get away from that and onto a dryer surface before starting the burnout. In fact, if there is any standing water… drive around it and back into the spot where you want to start your burnout. If you are driving through water, your front tires can be laying it down in front of you. Also…. Ditch the Tazer. It changed the settings. Try foot braking your burnout with the desired traction control settings.
