cant find traction??

Coupe50h · 12-11-2002, 10:23 PM

Well you guys might remember a couple days ago i was installing some lakewood lca's, well i did, and i still get wheelhop?

so i bolt on the e.t. streets and go to the track, well on the burnout it bounced around, and hopped, but not on all runs.

is it possible i put a rear spring in wrong? i dont mean upside down.......i could barely muster a 1.9 60' although humidity was really bad at about 90%,

still ran a 13.4 @ 100mph but think i should be in the high 1.7's, does humidity affect track conditions that bad?

thnx for any ideas.

I don't know about the wheel hop but that seems like respectable times for your combo, anybody?

thnx, i understand that is respectable, and i know with this gear it is good to even be in the 1.8 60', but i couldnt really do that tonight, with stock lca's i did a 1.81 60' a while back, i guess track conditions were just better then, i'll just shut up now and get some 373 gears when i have some time off work, that ought to better the times, also gonna try some new springs and upper ca's....thnx for the help.
