I have a 2000 GT with a Mac o/f H pipe, tri-ax shifter, filter, flow master mufflers, H&R springs, motive 4.10 gears with 18x9 and 18x10 rims on kumbo estca tires (245 ft and 295 rr). My questions is what can I do to help prevent so much tire spining from occuring? Besides drag radials and more rear suspension mods (upper and lower control arms etc). What I mean as a driver with my current set up what can I do to improve my lauch and prevent spining. I lauch a 3000-3500 rpms with a best 60 ft of 2.33 and 1/4 of 14.5. I was told to try lauching in 2nd? Is this good advice and will it help my overall 60 and 1/4. I feel if I can hook up that I can get 14.0 flat even 13.9? When the money is right I will do more to get power to the ground but am on a budget and working on a 05 gt as well. Any advice would be great



thanks

wont work you need drag radials
