joey50gt · 04-29-2001, 11:37 AM

Ok i love my 4.10's and there great when i am already going and i punch it but from a dead stop i just spin like hell. So i tried living the line power breaking to only 1000 rpm instead of 1400 but i still spun like hell.
Could you guys give me some advise on how to hook up better on street tires?
I also have shity street tires on my rear wheels and baldies on the front and i am about to get some new tires.What street tires do you guys reccomend that hook up alright with my 410's?I have pony rims.
THANKS FOR ANY ADVISE OR HELP AHEAD OF TIME.

On street tires, I like to ease the clutch out at about 2k, then gently roll onto the loud pedal. Then, I shift a little early into second, because that helps prevent wheelspin. I never get to full WOT in first (or second).

Go easy on the throttle, you don't always have to be mashing it. If you spin, your not going to go fast, it doesn't matter if you spinning with 500 or 100hp, your still spinnning and not getting anywhere. You don't seem to have this understanding problem, sorry to get on you, but there have been many posts lately about people wondering why they don't go anywhere. Get some new tires and that will do big things for it.

Some new lower control arms would help alot. I love my global west arms. They cost more than the other poly bushed junk but they are worth it.

The only advice I can give you is practice, practice, practice. 4:10s on street tires are terrible, slicks however, they're great! As for tires, the softer the rubber the better they stick but they wear out fast. When you buy your tire pay attention to the tire diameter ie: 26", 28" or p-255. The bigger the tire height the better it will hook, it'll also kill some of that gearing and help you hook.
