273.5 HP and 30.6kg TQ

nice, with that much power on tap, if you get the car too hook and get it light enough you should be able to pull low 11s, my buddy runs 11.40s on about 260HP.. Hes has less TQ than you though, hes running 86X89 in a B16 block with custom rods and pistons.. another friend of mine ran 12.0 with only 248HP, so you WILL run 11s, if you get everything setup just right..

Yes, lots of traction problems.

Well right now i'd really love to hear opinions on suspension setup... Traction is BAD, we did a 0-18m 2.12, if it goes to 2.00 that will definitely help... My ears are open.

What tire are you running?

In Holland are M&H drag slicks available at total car concept. http://www.totalcarconcept.nl/cms/content/view/174/34/ http://www.tcc-shop.nl/cheycart/index.p ... th=262_263 Maybe they can give you the grip.

Well according to regulations, we must run a DOT and Radial tire. So right now i have a set of BF Goodridge T/A drag radials on 20PSI 195/50/15, Hoosier 205/50/15 on 18PSI, and some Matador rally slicks that are proven the best on the last race (can't remember diameter right now), i made a new gearbox right now... 1st 70km 2nd120km 3 160km 4th 195km... Final Drive 4.266... With a cusco clutch diff... Any other propositions on suspension setup?

The MT ET Streets are badass. Have you put the car on scales and ajusted the cornerweights? How about dialing in your front camber for the launch height of the car? How about traction bars? Are the bushings in your suspension new? What suspension/rates are you running int he front and rear?

also drop the air pressures to like 8-12 PSI, on my BFGs I was running 12 PSI, and they hooked way better.. regardless your gonna get wheelspin without slicks.. You can either feather out the throttle or slip the clutch like a bike.. I usualy slip the clutch off the line, takes some practise but it'll get you outta the whole alot faster than spinnig tires AND it saves trannies and axels. Also on our CRX were running the Omnipower drag setup all the way around.. Previously we had Skunk2 drag setup opn the rear and Tein on the front.. Basicallly you want the rear as stiff as possible and the front you wan't the rebound stiffniss set really high as to prevent the front end from coming up and taking weight off the wheels at launch. Also... 3rd gear burnouts!!! get those tires spining fast as you can and get some serious heat into them.. Just put it in 3rd, get em wet in the water box then light em up at like 7-8K and you'll get them way hot.. Hope this helps.

Cornerweights are dialed in. Front camber is adjusted. There is an Avid traction bar. Full set of polybushings everywhere. Don't know about suspension weight, full coilover setup on all cornerns, full hard on the rear, and softer on front. I'll try lowering the tire pressure more, We tried clutch slipping, helped a bit. I'll try 3rd gear burnout. Thank you all.

all motor guy here myself nice specs.. seems alittle over kill on four widebands but hey, whatever works for you bro ^^ Why do the bearings need to be replaced and why go with crane? I've had nothing but bad problems with crane in the past, as well as quite a few others.. i had 2 of their sets snap on me.. any problems so far?
