Default no traction!!!!!

i was wondering if anybody has the same problem as i do...i recently did a ls (b18a) swap in my crx with J1 tranny. Im running juss an intake. I got 16" rims on and when i launch to race..i launch at from 2 - 2.5 grand and all it does is burn out. i raced an 99 cl and lost to him, i raced again and lauch out at 1800 and beat him..but the pick up is weak. so how should i launch out for a better pick up....

The J1 tranny is geared so ------- short, and with the help of the torque from the b18, I could see why you have a problem.

Your options..

LSD
Custom Adjustable front cross member
Poly all your mounts

and get some good tires..

Good point, negitive camber plays a huge factor in traction issues.
