Default street tire launch at a sticky drag strip
OK...just broke something in the diff or half shaft on my #260 BDR car. 3.91 gears posi diff, 295 50 15 cooper cobra tires, 3000 rpm launch, on a T5WC trans. getten wheel hop, like 3 to 4 chirps before it hooks, 1.8XX 60 foot times. Got the Bilstien shock and standard BMW rubber in the rest of the car. Wheel hop did seem real bad...but it broke. 390 rwhp on a 347 cid stroker. What will fix the wheel hop? BTW...11.970 @ 117.4 MPH
also shifting to second...no hop just tire spin! ditto 3rd
