    Question OK I can't Drive So What to practice?

    Posted up a question the other day about lack of traction with my factory traction control off.(15.0 sec.off) 14.88 traction control on) and alot of tire spin with traction control off.
    Got alot of good feedback most around practice and drag slicks. What should I practice?
    What do you do to get the best launch and min tire spin.?
    THANKX

    Even with a stock converter 60' times can vary wildly leaving at different RPM between idle and full converter brake stall. Mine runs quickest in between at around a 1200 RPM leave. It's quicker from idle than from 1600. Try different launches from idle up to full brake stall in 100 RPM stages until you find the sweet spot.

    Huh?

    Both 4WD and 2WD use the same steering knuckles (spindles?) and hubs....just there's no axle through the center on a 2WD...

    I digress...

    Yes, some 2WD have torsions and the ones that do have NO difference in the front suspension from a 4WD with exception of torsion rate or shock valving, etc...
