Can't hook up....HELP!!
Well guys, I am having a SERIOUS problem making my truck hook up. I can't get any traction of the line. What can I do? Traction bars, tires, ect.? I was thinking of maybe some drag radials. Which ore the best brands ect. Right now it really does not matter what technique I use I just spin uncontrollably. I can be going 10-15mph and punch it and still get lots of wheel spin. It's killing me when I race.
Short story: I raced a guy yesterday in a Old Model Monte Carlo with a 400 big block. He had drag radials, and a big stall converter. He has lots of money into this car. He was jumping me off the line due to the fact that he had the car revved to 3000-4000 rpms off the line then he gassed it and he shoots out of the hole like a rocket (while im spinning). He only beats me 1-2 links. I even beat him once. Once we get off the line it stayed even, he just jumped me off the line. I want to know what you guys do to get off the line and get traction. Please help!
P.S.- I raced the same guy, same car before the drag radials and beat him 3 links. Would tires help me that much?
My mods are: JDM stage 1, and 4lb pulley

I had trouble launching too, the last time I went out to the track, but I just put some Nitto 555r's on the rear, and it hooks VERY nicely on the street. With my mods, when I used to punch it at a 15 mph roll they would spin and the truck would go sideways a bit, now, with the Nitto's, no sideways motion, but they hop up and down a bit, which is much nicer. I like my Nitto's, have yet to track test them though.
