3rd gear? I am making a l bit more power than this and having a tough time keeping the car pointed in the right direction on full throttle. I am running ccw classics that are 12.5 in the rear with 315/30/18 azenis's. They are worn and will be replaced, I am just not sure as to how much new tires will cut down the wheel spin.

How about you high horse power gt2 guys?

 

HI,No Problem..You will hook,even with power shifting..I hook with 295/35/18s..

 

You need some R888's

 

Upgraded tow links, .25 tow in. You will love it. pm me if you have questions.

 

i am not hooking at all now. New tires first. then i will look in the alignment.

 

This and get rid of the falkens. I couldn't set a good lap at Laguna seca with falkens. Great tires for the first 300-400 miles, after that, they are a brick. 0 grip even with flash/ exhaust.

 

Thats probably the problem right there. I am thinkng about getting the Nitto 555dr, Only down fall is that drag radials do no last on the street. I am not very familar though on the length of time 555dr's would last, compared to other dr's

 

MSCUP
R888
RA1
NT-01
PS2
PSS
HOOSIER R6
pirelli slicks

I like all of those and only ones i would recommend.

 

I run Conti DW's...I am a street and stop light guy not not a track road racer..I run 40 psi cold in the rear 295/35/18s..Like I said, no problem with 2nd gear or power shifts from 1st to 2nd. 1st gear punch depends on temp and road but still hooks good most of the time.
But when I do go to the drag strip I will put on some stickier tires for a harder launch out of the gate....

 

I dynoed at 530 AWHP but the car spin will through 1st and 2nd well into the time the tires warm up. I run cheap 315/25 on my 19s though. What spins the tires is the low mid range torque. My car will hit the full 1.3 bar at 3,000 RPM.

Better tires and Sambo's advice will help a lot. I hear r888s are the cat's meow but have never tried them personally. I think the Hankook RS2/RS3 tires are absolutely fantastic for the price. Sambo knows his shat BTW I would take his advice.

Try running lower pressures as well. Believe it or not the recommended pressures on the GT2 is 5 psi lower all around.

 

For road track... 32 hot front 33 hot rear ...no more than 34 hot in the rear. No grip.

 

f1...mind if I ask what your setup consists of?

 

r888's will be your best friend

 

Do the R888, i yanked the wheels with them and found they work best at 20psi you may go up to 23-24 since i dont think your making the same torque.

they will last a while as long as you inflate them back to 34-37 on the daily drive.

 

My 315 PS2 are just OK, can't really recommend them. 2nd and 3td are a bit difficult though with lots of spin.

I would love to switch to R888, but I am concerned about wet performance in standing highway water.

Can anyone comment on R888's in heavy rain?
