Took my car to the track today. On the first two passes it just spun the tires bad but on the 3rd run it hooked up but started wheelhopping bad. It ran a [email protected] My car has mono leafs. Whats the best thing to do? I need to get off the line a lot better than that. thanks

Does your car have air shocks? If so, take them off and try it again. Mike. :beers: :beers:

Just like what the guy said that I got my car back from years ago!!

Try a set of traction bars , that may solve the problem.

 

[67 Plum]

Caltrac bars.

 

[67camaro02]

no air shocks lol. I think i might check into those cal tracs. I dont know anyone with them. Do they work pretty well?

Yea it runs great, it ran a 12.9 with a 2.0 60ft and i think if i can get this wheel hop thing fixed it should get 1.7s pretty easily with the converter i have in it.

I know a lot of people that use these with great success, traction bars are OUTDATED
:beers:

actually, I changed from traction bars to cal-tracs on my nova and it didnt pick up but .005. went from 1.65 to 1.60. I guess it just depends on all your other suspension and tire.

 

[67 Plum]

I have them on my 67 they work great.

 

[Mwilson]

nice times that 107 is good for a 12.5 at least

 

[pdq67]

Good old "slappers" will do you nicely!!

Just make sure that the snubbers hit right under the middle of the bottom of the front spring eyes..

Like these...

What is your engine package ? What cam are you using ?

If it were me I would go with the cal tracs. They are the best no doubt about it. If you want to get serious. Buy the matching springs and a great pair of shocks Afco's or equal. We built a couple of high powered Camaro's and set them up this way with 10.5 slicks and get 1.29 60 ft. commonly. I have a couple of sets of slapper bars that I no longer use and I plan on putting them in the swap meet this year. If you want to go that way I will give you a sweet deal. Good luck Sal

The 67 has a different shock upper mount location then the 68-69 cars for this very reason. Staggering the shock upper mount location helped (along with multi-leaf springs) and if I recall, there was even a factory traction bar that helped fix this problem.

Cal-Tracs would be nice, but a set of properly adjusted traction bars will eliminate the wheel hop and help plant the tires.

sounds good. Im gonna check around for some cal tracs but ill send ya a pm if i decide not to go that way, thanks

I agree, traction bars are not outdated. They work just fine for certain performance levels -- IMO they are fine for most 12 second cars. Some even run them faster -- I run SSM lift bars and am in the high 10's and they work just fine (very similar to traction bars).

That's it? What are you running for a trans, rear gears? Inquiring minds wanna know.
