Traction issues whipple 10r80

[DevonTK]

I have a 2019 gt with a stage 2 whipple on 305/35r19 nitto r2s and I am trying to get the datalogging done for lund but I just keep spinning when I get past 5k rpm with traction control off. Anybody have any advice? Should I just throw 100pounds in the trunk? Do a burnout before logging?

What gear?

some weight in the trunk can help

burnout will help

what temp is it outside?

 

[DevonTK]

4th gear 3500-6500 rpm with traction control off. It's about 55-59degrees out most days right now. I'll go get some sand bags after work.

50 degrees not helping

Any suspension mods?

No suspension mods yet besides tubular k member. Was wondering if it would be more beneficial to buy some 17inch rims before suspension. I have the bmr subframe support kit i need to install still.

Suspension is going to be a huge part of the traction part. The NT555R2s are going to do a great job as long as they have heat in them. Steeda stop the hop kit or something similar will help a lot. I’d look into that first.

Alright I will order that. Love the power from the whipple, but it's not fun having to worry about the back kicking out every time I get on it.

How much air pressure do you have in the rears?

26cold goes up to 30 when hot

I run 20 in mine

The cold temps are probably your biggest issue, but drop them down to 20 PSI and keep the traction control on. Better to have a log that shows some traction intervention, than a car wrapped around a tree

 

[DevonTK]

Alright, i will lower the tire pressure and give it another shot. If it just spins again I'll tell my tuner I either need to do the log with TC on or maybe try 5th gear instead.

Thanks for the help, this has been frustrating

Also, concrete is much better for traction than asphalt, if that’s an option
