What I'm getting at is 90% of the people that buy cal-tracs to put on trucks like ours, don't spend the time needed to properly tune them. They slap them on, go to the track, get traction without wheelhop and call it a day.

Just to be clear, I need to install the caltracs and take a little time to make sure they are adjusted properly? I don't expect caltracs to eliminate my traction problem but at the same time I think they will at least help. Also, I just got off the phone with the caltracs guy and he said the traction bars would help me hook on the street.

hahahaha of course he did. that's his job man. You called and told him you were having trouble hooking on the street. He wasn't going to tell you his $400 product isn't in anyway going to help you. That's just bad busniess lol They won't hurt you, thats for sure. BUT, I would try some spring clamps before I spent the money on the cal-tracs. Blown06 has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING as far as traction devices out back besides slicks and has been mid 10s with 1.5x 60's i believe. Not trying to get in a pissing match, just trying to help you save some money. How often do you go to the track?

no matter how many times i adjusted my cal tracs ,,,new tires 456s and 6speed aint gonna get traction at all lol.......but at the track different story

Maybe a stupid question but what exactly are spring clamps?

Anything you can find laying around the shop that you can compress your leaf springs with. We used some metal strap and some all-thread to make mine. you can find them for sale online as well
