'94 Firebird formula

Chunky

Have you tried a pair of bias ply’s slicks instead of the DR’s? There’s just something off about trying to launch a stick car on DR’s, there are success stories but they don’t seem to be very common.

I have not, but I keep getting told that so as soon as I use these up I will be getting a bias ply. I plan to grab a set of the CTS 18x4 spare wheels and putting a bias ply front runner on those to match. People talking about the car wiggling on the top end with a bias ply sketched me out so I went with a DR when I ordered these lol

Good day out! Getting it out of the hole without bog will need some serious RPM (5500?) and maybe a little tire slippage. No sense in swinging for the fences your first time out. Looks fun!

That's the plan, keep creeping the 2-step up until it doesn't bog and then have the nitrous hit right after it has hooked up.

Cars looking good. Nice to see you sticking with it.

From the research I’ve done
Bias Ply F/R = Good but be careful on the big end
Bias Ply R with a Skinny Radial F = People get away with it
Bias Ply F with a Radial R = Crash

Disclaimer, no personal evidence to support any of the research besides 500whp + stick + DR’s = My launching skillset isn’t up to par.

Do you trailer or drive you’re car to the track?
Have you researched a clutch tamer?

Drive it to the track right now. I have not but am looking at them now.

I have looked into this which seems like it might be the same idea.

Turn the 2 step off and try launching At the same rpm

Will do, will this help with the bog in theory?

It may. Which two step are you using

The build took a little turn this winter/spring. No more nitrous any more, put on a VS Racing billet wheel 78/75. Running it on E85 with meth for cooling for now until i put a A/W intercooler on it eventually. Going to put a 8.50 cage in it before I do the IC as it doesn't have any cage currently. Running on Holley Terminator X now too. New clutch going in this weekend then a tune and hopefully some 9s this year lol
