    Question Traction Issue

    Well the 06 SSS is starting to live up to her badges!!!
    Stock times 15.5
    Friday 11/14/08 SAR With mods you see in signature
    14.88 92mph
    Now that time was with traction control on.
    When off she spinns and the time grows to 15.0
    I let the wind blow several time slips out the cab Friday. (full track headwind)
    But my 60' were @2.66 pretty consistant.
    Allen told me to keep the traction control off. I cant seem to keep the rear from spinning.
    WHAT WOULD A STALL CONVERTER DO FOR ME AND HOW DOES IT WORK?
    tHANKx!!
    MODS: 2006 Black SSS

    A stall will make it harder to get tracking, it will be more power off the line. Put some slicks on that thing and hook.

    I would say get better tires and practice more. At least you dont have my problem, and it bogs out of the hole.

    I have basically the same drivetrain but with more weight and an LQ4. I've done a couple high 14.8's and my 60' is mid 2.3's. You have more in it for sure. My best time is traction off, tow/haul off, and stabbing it from idle. I have messed with flashing a little more so I think I'm good for almost a 2.2X 60' and a 14.6.

    Go for it!

    Get a better rear supsension setup, or you are going to find out how hard it is to move a 5,000lb 2wd truck.

    The stall will make traction worse off the line but it can increase 1/4 mile with shift extensions. You will need some slicks to take advantage of your power at the track.

    wait, i thought all sss were 4x4? try airing down the tires a bit and practice more without trac control and youd probably cut a better 60'
