[QUOTE="white95, post: 1140877, member: 10188"] Your signature cracks me up btw... There are a few 'free tricks' you can try before spending a lot of money; 1] [B]Weight Reduction [/B]- I told you about the weight reduction in your other thread.. 2] [B]Disconnect your front sway bar[/B] - this will allow for better weight transfer that will equal better traction [if you remove it'll drop some weight also, just reinstall for street driving] 3] [B]PRACTICE! PRACTICE! PRACTICE[/B]! - Perfect your launch to find the happy medium between excessive wheel spin and bogging the engine 4] [B]Tire pressure [/B]- This can be fun.. Find a secluded place you can literally peel out as many times as you wish without the law interferring.. Inspect the black marks to see if they're darker in the middle or darker on the outer edges.. If the center is darker, you have too much air & if the outer edges are darker, you dont have enough.. You want a nice consistant mark. 5] [B]Reduce rolling resitance[/B] - Although this isnt necessarily free, if you can borrow or find another donut [spare tire] you can use the wheels to mount skinny tires up front to reduce your rolling resistance. That isnt the BEST idea but many have done it. Just dont use the dry rotted, cracked or otherwise sketchy looking donut tires. Buy some 165/60-15's or whatever size fits. If you can, invest in a set of draglites, prostars, etc Not bad from the memory of an evil, wanna-be road racer guy... [/QUOTE]
