10 bolts nittos and a T-56

[mtuggle86]

if your suspension cant handle it it doesnt matter. your stock torque arm will experience a whole new world of forces when you put nittos on it. Not that it isnt possible, im just saying I wouldnt expect it to work out very well. my stock torque arm is giving me problems at ~360 rwhp and tires that cant hook worth a crap.

Well Im not investing in a torque arm because Im planing on converting it to a mini 4 link setup next year when I do the 8.8 swap.
What do you mean by not work out well do you mean it will still spin? Im not wanting the car to completely Hook I just want to cut down on wheel spin because my first gear is useless for the most part unless I bog. Keep in mind my car is driven 99% percent of the time on the street. Im really looking for a tire that will cut down on wheel spin in 1st some and when I take it to the track will cut down on wheel spin but not dead hook and break my rear end? Is there any other tires that fit this bill?

as far as i know with tires. im not a tire guru but nittos are decent on the street and any time you put any ponies down to the pavement through the tires you take a chance of breaking the rear. if your careful you should be fine. but realiability and performance dont normally mix lol. either your gonna have a dead hooking car or really good hooking car but then you gotta look at all the wear and stress your putting on your rear and visa versa. on the torque arm aspect. hard launches will start to mess with your trans as well. mount and what not. something definately a really really good investment. even if your gonna do something better. dont keep stock for now. thats why i dont have a 383 camaro anymore


sorry if im stealing your thunder joel im not trying to step on your toes.

what im talking about is nothing to do with wheel spin but wheel hop when you are near that limit of traction. that traction limit will be harder to break, which means there is more force acting on the torque arm at the point that does happen which equals more wheel hop. make sense?

Ya I get what your saying

See my sig...10 Bolt, Nitto DR's, M6 and 4.10's also zero wheel hop. If you don't beat the shit out of your car it should last a while but you're always that one clutch dump away from going BOOM! I had M/T ET Streets on it before and they hooked but get caught in the rain and its like ICE. The Nitto's aren't as sticky but are great all around DR's and they last longer too. Hope this helps.

joel pretty much covers it, i beat my 10 bolt up pretty good on my other car and when i added my 408 stroker it didnt skip a beat the 2-3 weeks i was driving it around.

just watch the wheel hop and dont do a ricer dump

Its just not a good idea. You can do it..................................but lets just say I wouldnt drive the car 85 miles to the track and try to get a good launch, and HAVE to drive it home. I would recomend trailering it to the track the first couple of times you run it on sticky tires. I ran a centerforce clutch, and et streets on a bolt on LT1 car and it didnt take long to tweak the housing and take out an axle bering. That, in my opinion, is the weak point on the 10 bolt. If you run a 4.10 gear, the gears dont hold up well and can chip under hard launching, and the housings are prone to tweaking. Dana FTW, lol. And FWIW, I would take a torque arm over a short 3 or 4 link any day for the street. Ive seen those setups and they work OK for the track (not any better than a torque arm) but arent real street friendly and ride like crap. Hence the reason you dont see them very often. The arms end up to short and mess with your suspension travel in my opinion. If you want to hook hard and go fast with a T56, talk to Larry (1badair) on this site. He will steer you in the right direction. But be warned, hes kinda a dick, and dosent play well with others, lol. Eric L

What rpm where you launching at?

i'm a wha?

[mtuggle86]

i'm a wha?

He called you a dick larry Do you guys think Removing the rear LCA's and PHB and boxing them like this would help stop wheel hop? http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/suspen...-60-bucks.html

Also what about a solid Torque arm Bushing I know most of the flex is prob in the arm itself but would this help much?

[kammi10]

just find a used torque arm, tubular lca's and some relocation brackets and your wheel hop should be almost non existant.

larry isnt a dick, hes short and to the point. no need to blabbering.
