Well? Thanks guys.
Caltracs, long bars, 4 link setups
Slicks.
Yep 28 x 10 x 16 Hoosier slicks(or bigger if needed) and caltracs bars, shocks, pretty much anything in suspension. Weight transfer
some type of posi/limited slip differential(LSD), MickeyThompson Drag Radials, CalTracs for a leaf spring setup, four link for all out usage, drag bar to make it squat straight down on launches, 90/10 shocks with the front sway bar removed for weight transfer(front end rises)...
i have an awesome pair of traction aides for sale in the classified section for cheap. thats where you should start unless your sitting on an open carrier.
Open diffs can pull with both wheels on slicks at the strip if the chassis is loaded properly.
I have a LSD and 15x30x10.5 Hoosier slicks. Does anyone make a drag spring for the front and like slapper bars or something like that to bolt on the rearend? I am having wheel spin problems even with the huge slicks. I need to transfer weight to the rearend, I.E. dragsprings, drag shocks. Then I need to plant that to the ground, I.E. slapper bars, or a cal-track setup. I just need to know if these parts exist for our trucks.
i run cal tracs and DRs, you can call cal tracks and get em for around 350$ unless youre lowered and if they got to fab some crap up its 550$:( :lol: i took out my overload i would recommended putting bump stops on if youve taking em off, because with the overloads off i was launching and the fenders were cutting into my tires.
try taking out the overload next time you go to the track.

That is with a LS1 hot cam, 3000 stall by Yank and a Nelson tune. What is the fastest someone has gone with a hot cam?
I'm using them on my ecsb but I still have the sway bar which kind of cancels out their benefits. I'm doing 1.7 and 1.8s all day long, 1.7s on the spray and 1.8s off of it. Truck weight is around 4800.
i made a set of caltracs for my truck and it only cost me 45 bucks and my 60 fts. was a 1.67 with a little traction issue but hopefully new slicks will help just my :twocents:
get a couple of fat chicks for the track throw em in the back...lol
90/10's on a RCLB that looks like a 2500? Man, the LB might give you more leverage. Seems like you should be sub-2.0 60' with your set-up even though you're getting good overall numbers.
Mine is lowered 3/5 with the overloads out and bump stops in, cal tracs, slicks, edelbrock ias shocks, front sway bar on and cut 1.8 on motor. I am going to try and put overload back in and cut bump stops and see if that helps. A couple of buddies watched me launch and it bites off the line and then it spins a few feet out(maybe 5'). They said it looked like I was bouncing off my bump stops causing it to break loose after launch. Don't know but gonna try it. But that is my set up in a RCSB. Also are you a automatic or standard?
Automatic. How in the hell are you guys getting sub 1.9s with a 5.3? I wanna know so I can do the same.

And yes, with the overall numbers you have it should at least be in the 1.90's meaning you have a lot left in the combo. :thumb:
I run 33/17.50/15 slicks
