punkt71 Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I am wondering whats up here. I have my Radix installed with a 3" pulley making around 7.5PSI of boost. When I punch it (or brake stall) off the line, I dont even get a CHIRP of the tires. Going around a corner WOT barely squeeks the tires. Keep in mind I have 22" rims and 305/45/22 Toyo Proxes. I rode in Chase's Vortech powered truck, and that thing broke loose no problem off the line and around a corner. I would expect a roots blower that provides full boost off idle to do the same... if not more? But I cant event get a squeek. I also have a Yank TT2600 stall that flashes to 3000-3100rpms also... doesnt make sense Is this normal with you other Radix guys? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oscareltemblo Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Are you all-wheel drive? because if you are it is normal. Although you might need to get dialed in better on your tune. Edited August 19, 2006 by oscareltemblo (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punkt71 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 (edited) Yeah I am AWD. As far as my tune goes, its pretty dialed in. The guy who tuned it used a wideband and has the timing at around 17-18* WOT with no knock. That is pretty good, and is about what most Radix guys use with the smaller pulleys. Maybe I have some TQ management in my ECU still? I dont know... Edited August 19, 2006 by punkt71 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TimB Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I can break them loose with no problem. Sometimes its alittle scary. Around a bend it really lites them up. I am also AWD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.justin. Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 I've got 305/50/20 Toyo Proxes S/Ts, 2.9" pulley, and I don't break the tires loose either... With the stock tires there were a few times that I was able to spin them, but not now... Justin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the stock tires there were a few times that I was able to spin them, but not now... Justin <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I am wondering if the Toyo Proxes hook up really good.... that might be the reason. If you cant break 20's loose, and I have 22's... that makes sense. I dont care about lighting them up anyways, its better that it doesnt (less noise to attract cops) but I guess I assume its not making as much power as other guys if it doesnt have the power to spin em off the line. Maybe its only guys with 3000+ stall's that can do it? My Yank 2600 stalls to 3000... but the 3000 stall guys can flash to 3400 I am assuming.... enough to spin the tires off the line pretty good possibly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
04CHASE Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 wekk yoiur rims are pretty heavy , that could be one of the things, my 22's are a good bit lighter being forged. but i would think your truck shoulc /could break em loose too. i dont know if the extra power of the cam i had and the higher stall helped me but i can easily break them loose. and i have to say it is fun with awd.

punkt71 Posted August 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Maybe the rims are just a lot heavier... hmm. If torque management is not completely deleted from the PCM, would that cause it to lower the power (retard timing?) off the line, preventing wheelspin?

ssfromsd Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 give me your supercharger and quit bitchin! hah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterp Posted August 19, 2006 Report Share Posted August 19, 2006 Well, I'm sure your Toyos have a far better grip than the CRAP Goodyears, they're so bad that N/A with a TCS 2800 converter I had no problem getting the truck to bark all four Goodyears going into 2nd. I now have Pirelli Scorpions 295-45R20s and as yet have not been able to even get a squeak out of them around a corner, so if your tires are like mine I'm sure that you are seeing the same kind of improvement in traction. I went on a joyride with BSER, we tore off out of the Hooter's parking lot and we were all over the place His Radix makes 8-lbs. Mr. P.

Black2003SS Posted August 20, 2006 Report Share Posted August 20, 2006 Didnt I just read about you stomping on some LS1 corvettes in another thread? As long as you are beating, hanging with low 13's high 12's cars, who cares? LOl. I can't wait until I get my radix installed. From experience with tires though, I think everyone is right with your tires being sticky and wheels being heavy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But now that I am used to the power, now I am trying to squeeze any little bit more out of it I can.. lol. I am already planning on some long tubes and a GT2-3 cam ... and ditching the crappy flowmaster exhaust! After that is all done.. I will probably want more!!! I knew supercharging it wouldnt keep me happy for long.. and this is going to be a never ending project! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted August 21, 2006 Report Share Posted August 21, 2006 When I ran the 3.0 pulley, cam, 3000 stall, full exhaust etc. I could "chirp" the tires from a stand still. After extensive dyno tuning and the 2.8 I could light them up with ease. Now, with the 305/50 KDW's (stickier) and heavy wheels, I can have them spin for about 30-40 ft. If the road is wet, forget it, its like a 2wd truck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
