Will this help traction!!
How well will VHT trackbite work on street tires? Claims it lasts weeks? Here is an example:

Also The base suspention was great for draging, now I think it doesn't transfer much weight anymore, but looks TOO GOOD to lift back up. :( I removed 3 rings on each side on the back, and moved the screw in the front as much as I can to make it even so the fender gap is just about the same front and back.
Is this too much? Is this half my problem? My last good times was before this? Didn't think about it, thought it was because my drag radials were too worn.

Re: Will this help traction!! (TexCorvette)
I boughta gallon of the VHT Track Bite and used it on my street Nitto's. I mean I sprayed the rear tires until they were dripping just before I got into the staging lane. It's very sticky to the touch but with any kind of power they will just spin,spin,spin. Even at low rpm lauches:yesnod: I did'nt have any luck with it in that application but if you can get a track to allow you to burnout in it you probably will have better luck.
I haven't tried it on the Nitto DR's yet...I guess it can't hurt :rolleyes:

I read your other post. . I'm guess you have a 330-350rwhp car.. You'll always have traction problems, you just have to practice and be easy on the throttle. Get some good tires if you don't have any. . I have Nitto 555s and love them.
Turn your traction control off when you build a little more confidence and remember that you can't just MASH the pedal down in that car. :yesnod:
