something stinks in my rear...

[87GTA355]

i have one of those G-tech pro meters and tried it out on my GTA and came up with these results : 1800rpm launch with M/T sportsman pros was pointless i spun instanly waisting 1st. gear and had let off early due to lack of straight road which fucked up E.T and netted me a 13.34@ 99.6. so i tried it again with out stalling it up and kinda bogged at first then broke loose again. this time i able to complete a 1/4 mile my time was 12.94@110mph.i figured a good set of tires would ensure traction ...boy was i wrong. so i was thinking a good set of BMR lcas and a an air bag should do the trick. does any body know any old school tricks that would work instead of spending more money. i have a set of S/F connectors in the garage i still have to put in would that help???
thanks yall

The airbag would work good but some traction bars would be great subframes cant hurt either.

hey 87GTA355

You need some HAL adjustable shocks set at 0 up front to get some body motion when you take off.

I wouldnt rely too much on the G-Tech. It only works reasonably well when you dont spin at all otherwise the numbers really get skewed as you can see in your 2 mph results.

If you can take off without spinning the G-Tech normally shows 1 tenth and 5 mph fast from what youd see at the track. Ive done many track runs with the G-Tech and its pretty consistent that way.

are far as body motion goes my struts are so wore out that i rock the car my self and after 2-3 bounces the front tire can almost get off the ground...yeah i know pretty pathetic :). i was plannig on putting regular struts and shocks in it instead or drag specific kind i would like the car to retain reasonable handling characteristics.
so what exactly do you mean about the G-tech meter since i spun was i actually going slower than 12.9 here something youll get a kick out off. i ran it on my girlfriends 94 Z28 and spun clean up into part of 3rd gear i ran 15.01@105.3 but i can run down and pass a new 260HP GT and stay even with a cobra after spinning offa light :) surely its no 15.o Z.
i cant for the life me get that car to hook (my GTA) stupid me figured that since it dead hooked w/ a 305 that i wouldnt have any problems with a 350.
so here the wish list folks :) better LCAs hal adj/shock(cost dependent) put in my s/f/cs and an air bag :p i hope girlfriend reads this..LOL
