1/8 mile traction and handling? Can we have both?

afarkas · 12-30-2002

I am interested in getting tires to obtain the best 1/8th mile traction AND handle great with matched front tires.

Is this possible? With my current setup, 1st and now 2nd gear get little to no traction

Can a blown stang hook on the street and take the 1st canyon turnoff for some tight cornering?

What are your successful combinations that get both launch and cornering traction?

A short sidewalled Nitto or BFG Drag Radial will probably do everything you sound like you need.

Try Mac 0r BBK rear 4 link arms. These will help both types of racing.

I would steer clear of MAC rear control arms, they improve handleing, but create too much bind while powerbreakeing. I am getting Maximum Motorports ares next
