  • New launch with Limited Slip

    Ok I am putting in a limited slip VERY soon, and I was wondering if anyone has managed to use the juice in first gear with a LSD on street tires? I know I still cant just plain launch it with the nitrous on street tires, but maybe a couple feet out? If I juice it anywhere in first gear now it just spins. Will it hold up now?
    Basically how should I launch with a LSD rear on nitrous and on street tires?

    Slicks are coming slightly soon too. [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]

    [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img] Spinnnnnning all the time :D

    Actually I got to a 13.4 with michelin XGT v 255 50 16's at 30 psi street tires and a 120 dry shot.
    I stalled the converter (stock at the time), launched n/a, watched the nose go up, then come down and then I hit the nitrous.
    Anything sooner and major spinning.
    This was done with a quick snap of the tires to clean them off.
    It all depends on your current tires, treadwear, temp, traction compound etc

    Just realized, you have 275 40 17's, [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] With my BF goodrich zr40's, stock converter, 342 gears, lsd, 30 psi I grabbed in overdrive at 80-85 mph [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

    Good luck :D

      Well I have 3.23s and the 275/40s are VERY close to stock height. I run them usually at 25 or so at the track and they a less than 3000 Miles old.
      (Working at the tire shop has its advantages)
      THey are AA traction, but A in temp which keeps them from getting hot and sticky.
      We shall just have to see I guess. I will wait "till the nose drops" I suppose. (Not that it rises much). :D
