Track was garbage and it was 90 with high humidity
1st run forgot to turn electronic boost on 11.8
2nd ran low boost couldn't launch just would spin with 28x12 mt et 11.3
3rd high boost 1.9 60' 11.0
4th full boost 1.7 60' 10.6@132
I tried 3k launch basically no boost and hooked but as soon as boost hit it spun. 3k 5lbs and 10lbs with trans brake move a couple feet the spun badly. Tried 16lbs in tires 14 and 12. Airbags both around 15psi. Any help guys

Change tracks!....j/k! Does your electronic boost controller provide ramping? Use it to make the boost progressive to control the tire spin. Also may have to tune the suspension to control the power to the grd. Slicks are also an option if allowed in your class.
 
Adj shocks?
Ft suspension set up?
Any adjustment in rear suspension?
Video the launch, and take a look.
ARB in place of airbags...{A suggestion}.
 
Love to change tracks but this is so close (20min away) not able to do ramping and when the boost hits it hits super fast. I did run slicks but had a hard time really getting them warmed up, even doing but burn outs lol( lil water doesn't help)

Front suspension stock besides better shocks. Not adjustable either. Rear is drag shocks lower boxed after market control arms, upper tubular adjustable but were setup by Eric knapp when he installed them saying this is where they should be, hr super sway bar
What is arb?

ARB = anti roll bar



with the hRparts HD swaybar .. pull the lines off the air bags
 
Yes I have the roll bar hr parts big one. What u mean pull the lines off? I should pull the lines off or the bar tends to do that?

dont run air in the bags with the hr
with the lines off the bags act as a dampner
with air they compress and then bounce
i dont run any bags
if you need the height for the huge azz slicks adjust the spring
 
Thanks ill try no air or lower air in bags and lower in tires
