im knida thinking that the revs flying up has more to do with something in the drivetrain failing than not having any traction. i run the same slicks @ 9 psi and they hook just fine. also, art was running high 9's with high 140 mph traps with the same slicks. this is why im leaning more towards a clutch/drivetrain problem, which would also explain the strange new noises coming from the trans. also, how long are you doing your burnouts for?

The slicks look old & nasty to say the least - i think a new set will get me some better traction
Decent 2nd gear burnouts .. nothing crazy.

The drivetrain wasnt failing it was just noisy .. imagine if both of your brake dust shields were rubbing on the rotor - thats what it sounds like. It only makes the noise after i put power through it.. After it cools down and I cruise it doesnt make the noise. It drove like normal - was just noisy. I dont think it would be trapping 124 back to back with a busted drivetrain.

I will once I get the right one off (thx ichiba wheel studs)
I left my slicks in the garage over the winter. I am thinking this had a negative effect on the rubber.
You have an oem diff/oem suspension right? Are you spinning in 1st or 2nd?
You have the toyo proxes?

How was your traction for the above mentioned runs.

I appreciate your input for sure.
I made 5 or 6 passes. The transmission started getting more noisy after the 4th pass. My traction and speeds were pretty consistent throughout the day. Its odd that i have absolutely no traction in 3rd with such a big tire.
You have a similar setup so information from you is very helpful

When my CC clutch was slipping, i was seeing it in lower gears.. I always presumed once the car was already moving at a certain speed, it was less stress on the clutch. Again not sure.. but thats what i had seen. When slicks are spinning, you can hear and feel it for sure..
Maybe you posted it already but what size of slick are you on?

25x9x15
its odd that the clutch would grab for the burnout - grab for the launch - spin 1st, 2nd, 3rd and grab for 4th. pedal feel did not change. no clutch smell.
I believe the clutch to be fine.
1-3 felt like street tires
Im going to get another transmission and new slicks and go back
