Thread: having major traction problems with my b14 at the track

i thave changed a few things and turned the boost way up now car is running creat but i cant get it down the track im useing 24.5 et drags and am only using the waste gate in 1st gear but it will only let it get down to 13 lbs then it starts to gradully start to creep up to 32 lbs from 2nd gear car ran 103 in the 1/8 spinning so bad i have agb strutts and shocks with ground controll springs can any body help me with this setup or am i going to have to fab up some diferrent struts and shock mount where would the settings be on these shocks and struts i know the back are set at 8 and the front is turned all the way tight any help would help me out alot im sure my car will run like 115 if i can get the spinning down to a min it spins all the way down the track threw all the gears

What is your camber set at? Maybe set to zero will help with traction. What width are the tires?

Also look into getting some traction bars.

nice trap in the 1/8th, 103mph is no joke, Even if you can solve the traction issue you will not pick up much in the 1/8th, id like to see what the car would do in the 1/4 mile. That will really tell you what its capable of. My best 1/8th mile was 103 as well spinning a crap load all through 1st, 2nd and some of 3rd gear on bald 24.5X7X13 mt drags that had no grip at all because they were simply too old.

What im doing to solve my traction issues is doing a better burnout, gonna try setting the slicks to 9psi, and having brand new 24.5X9X13 mt's. I think that will solve my traction problems for the most part. I was running full boost through every gear though probably didnt see 26psi in 1st and 2nd though because it was all wheel spin, not enough load to pull that much boost.

Good luck man, maybe try different tire pressures in the slicks and definetly do a decent burnout

Glad to see you kept the car man. That P11 tranny is no joke huh?!?

look for fwd traction its for 90s mopars but the chasis is very simalar to b14s and b15s

spining all gears?? dang you should get a video when you get a chance.

that is slicks correct? I think you should look into turning down the boost and set it up to boost by gear and I think you might pick up the time

8-9 psi did the trick for me. an electric boost controller will help i set the 1st @ 14 and 2nd the same after that it was 20+psi.measure the angle of ur susp along with the angle of ur axles. raise the rear all the way up
