Went back to the track after my tune, fixed the power now the new problem is traction! No traction on all of my runs, spun every time at least some. On a few it even fish tailed back and forth before I had to put on the brakes to save it. Even with a 2.344 60 ft time, I was still able to pull out a 14.418 and 97mph. 60 ft times ranged from 2.255 up to 3.333 depending on wheel spin. I would have definately seen 13s if I could get grip...

It sounds like your track has terrible prep. What in the hell are the fast cars doing there???

there were cars there running 11s and 12s with drag radials, almost no wheelspin with the drag radials

You need to learn how to feather that thing a little if your spinning that bad. What tire pressure are you running and what rpm are you leaving at?

I'm trying the 24-26 psi this coming friday, tried feathering it, but then that yielded bad 60ft times as well. Hopefully the track will be prepped better this week as well.

Dropping the pressure like that should help a ton. Thats where I set mine and I leave at ~1200. I get a very minor amount of spin off the line but it hooks quickly and takes off.
