 Subject: Traction problems!!!

Message:
Hey fellas,
Well I went out to an old country road tonight with the old G-tech and had immense traction problems. I added Mopar performance headers and an intense performance stage II pro-flow intake since the last time I used the G-tech and now find myself in need of traction. I ran several times with absolutely no form of traction unless I creeped it to around 15 mph then got on it, which at that point it would not spin as much, but would still spin. I have a sir michaels roll pan, spare tire and components removed, BF goodrich KDWS tires (soon to be replaced by nitto 450's or 555's) My trap speed is a mere 94 MPH, which I think should be better, but I may be wrong. Does anyone know the weight of the CC r/t?
99 dakota r/t CC
Intense performance stage II w/ pro-flow filter, MP headers, MP cat 4ward pipes, MP 7.5 mm wires, MP computer, 180 tstat, 3923's, sir michaels roll pan, spare and components removed, low profile tonno cover.

If you can, try putting on wider back tires for more traction.
Or, try to transfer some weight to the back of the truck, like the battery for example.

I had really bad traction problems with my stock 99 cc r/t, none at all until 30, i replaced the tires with some dunlops, and lowered it, now it hooks up much better. I would say the tires are really important, and getting rid of wheel hop.

If you were using a G-Tech to measure your 1/4 times then the trap speed you give you will be 3-4 miles higher than the trap speed a track will give you. The G-tech gives you a true MPH where as the track is an averaged speed.
