Hey guys,

looking for advice..
ive recently added an ESS supercharger to my 2011. I race at my local 1/8 track every weekend. Stock with tune I was hooking up pretty well in PS4S’s but now I’m having all kinds of struggles. On the same tire I’ve lost .5 sec and running a 2.5 60ft 😆. I’ve also tried R888Rs for 1 night with similar results. Need help! How can I get at least some of the power down? And are the Toyos still too young? (I did six runs with 3 burnouts).
Im an experienced street level drag racer but this is a tough nut to crack.
ive seen lots of guys running low 7s 1/8 and even 6’s supercharged and am looking for advice...has anyone run no prep?

I had all the same problems 1/8 mile roll racing. consider:
-reducing tyre pressure
-adjusting suspension ,stiffen rear compression, loosen front rebound
-pedaling
-good DOT drag radial +heavy 2nd gear burnout on every pass (eg MT et street s/s)

Going to need a 16 or 17 inch tires with a Hoosier or Mickey Thompson drag radial

You need drag radials end of story. Street tires won't hook for **** at the track.

This just simple physics, you have too much power now and not enough traction to put it down, remove the supercharger or bolt on more traction.

Also, wanted to mention. Get rear upper adjustable camber arms, and take some negative camber out. These cars run -2.5 degrees camber in the rear which is horrible for straight line torque monster. I have f1fabrication arms on my car and running -.5 degrees and my car hooks amazingly.
