Besides ET tires or slicks, what is the secret of zero or close to zero spin off the line. My '60 times are killing me: 2.2s

I try and have a full tank of gas, proper tire pressure, and I got plenty of junk in the trunk, like full size spare tire, jack, a box full of cleaing supplies, tools....

I get 2.0 or 1.9 60' times with the stock converter on my 255/50/ZR17 RE730s. No spin, unless the track prep is garbage, and it was pretty bad for the racing I did tonight, but I still ran 2.0xxs. I also have HAL shocks, so that might help, even though I ran 1.99xs with the stock shocks, but that was with very good track prep.

Big secret is weight transfer, so figure out what makes your car do that better and you will have your traction problems solved.

Loading up the trunk may help you reduce your 60 foot times, but it will really hurt your all out performance. Have you tried dropping the pressure in your rear tires and adding some to the fronts? I believe in keeping the car as light as possible, even if the weight you are removing is mostly if not all from over the rear axle. You shouldn't run at the track with a full tank, you should run with the bare minimum amount of fuel that doesn't cause you to slosh it off the pump and lose fuel pressure. When my car has like 5 gallons in it, full throttle in first gear will make me lose fuel pressure because it sloshes the gas off of the pump (I think my pump is dying too, so it may have a bad pickup), but with like 7 or 8 gallons, I can run WOT without any problems. When the fuel pressue drops from sloshing it all off the pump, you really feel it, the car will really slow down a lot, then pick back up and do it again. I seem to have found the right combo of gas in the tank for keeping the weight down and keeping the fuel pressure up, I'm sure every car will be a little different.

I have run in the 2.02 range stock, now with the mods, I'm getting alot of wheelspin. Will the UCA and LCA help the wheelspin?

The other night I took her out to test. I was coming down 280 to the Bergen street exit and ran into a old 5.0, but he was'nt game. I proceeded to the stop light and lo and behold there was a Acura NSX there too. I did a quick uey and lined up at the start of 280. I then punched it and lit that road + tires up. I must have did a 20 foot burnout with bigtime smoke. When she hooked I was outta there, but I got a good look on the two guys faces and they looked like...

P.S. This has nothing to do with better launches, but when reading it's the first thing that came to mind...

Those are some pretty impressive times and MPH with your current mods. I'm sure the car seat in the back helps with your launches
