no traction please help mustang ripped me

[blownwhite03]

Raced a bolt on port and polised 04 mustang with 3.90s and 12.5 inch nitto drag radials from 40 to 120 dead even .then we tried a couple digs the mustang was lanching at 2000 no spin at all and quik pulls 2 cars i spin all the way through 1 then hooks im about half a link back by 80.My ques. is i need major traction for the street. i would go drag radials but no one makes the size i need .Any suggestions? cal tracs, replace gas tank with fuel cell over the axle,. i know the air pressure has alot to do with it and i was runnig 40 psi which is stupid high no im at 18 psi but still only slab 3/4 throttle and just blows the tire until second.

In your pic it looks like your truck is lowered, how is your pinion angle? yes caltracs help from what ive read but looking at the torque your making from the charger, it looks like u need to get some rims w/ DR's for whenever your gonna race. IMO

x2 check pinion angle and get a nice set of dr's and some vht

You will need at least as much tire as the Mustang has to hook on the street! Caltracs will help some but a better tire is needed!

+1 on the better tire and the caltracs. Also you could consider a more race inspired shock also it would prob be cheaper to relocate your battery to just behind your axle. Damnyankee (moze) did this and has a post about how to I believe if you do a search.

does any one have their gas tank relocated to the bed over the axle seems like i could use 100-200 pounds on the rear the batt might help but i need more .been lookin at QA1 IM pretty shure for rim size and my profile i have some of the grippest tires i could find 12/18/30in. mickey thomsons sr radials I DONT race at the track so gotta have street tires

The gas tank relocated may be more dangerous being if you ever had a wreak. I think between shocks, caltracs, setting your pinion angle with the relocated batt you should be fine

If you get on performance trucks do a search for REGENCY. I think it is regency's build thread. he is a local truck and has one plus battery mounted to frame under bed. Looks like a good setup. And it is a fast truck. I think Nelson done the tuning on it. I know they did when he first started modding the truck.

Run by HomeDepot and throw a couple day labors in bed before racing ..............

i meant a racing fuel cell seems like you would get alot better weight distabution?
