I am looking for ways to improve traction when wheel hop is not a concern. Does anybody have back to back data or even subjective opinions of a stop the hop style kit, braces, vertical links, bushings, etc. that helped make the car hook (not solving wheel hop) without going to drag springs or dampers?
The car is a 2019 GT Premium MagneRide PP1 with catless LTH, drop-in filter, x-pipe, E85, and previously had 275/40R19 NT555R2s. I have not suffered a lick of wheel hop since I got rid of the stock PS4S but struggle to get any better than a 2.0 60 ft regardless of drive mode even if I try to pedal it or let TC do its thing. If I do either of the latter, my trap and ET struggle so my best time is actually a 12.39 @ 119mph spinning through a 2.2 60ft on the 275/40R19s. The track that I go to does very little prep for the events that I attend so a lot of the Camaros, Challengers, other Mustangs, etc. that I have ran have similar 60 times so I am not necessarily slower than average but it still feels painfully slow.
I just put on some 305/45R17 NT555R2s that I will take to the track soon but based on a few street launches, my problems have not gone away. I am thinking I have a few options:
-Throw suspension parts at it - I have searched and searched and nobody seems to show back to back 60ft data of suspension goodies unless they had wheel hop issues but I feel like reducing suspension compliance should help plant the car.-Tire pressure - I ran as low as 15psi on the 275s at the track so it didn't work on those tires but in theory the 305s will respond better with the taller sidewall. Test pulls on the street were ran at 28psi.
-Alignment - I have not had the car aligned so maybe going near zero camber would help. Stock tires did not show much camber wear
-Tires - Put some E/T Street Rs on my new Forgestars, daily it on the stock wheels, and swap out for the track for the 100 mile roundtrip drive.
-Drag springs and/or dampers - I daily the car most days so I am hoping to avoid lowering the car and/or losing MagneRide but I am open to change.
-Learn to drive - Easier said than done...
