Tvs coyote and gearing

[mackdog2008]

Wasn't sure where to post this, I want to see if there is anyone running a lower rear gear, I currently have 3.31 gears in my 13 GT with my tvs supercharger traction is an issue.

Has anyone ran a 3.08 or lower gear in with a setup like mine?

Vmp gen 2 tvs, 79mm pulley and e85.

Thanks guys.

308's are not the answer a better tire is the solution. What tires are you using?

I'm still on 3.73's and don't have traction issues.. Seems like you need some real tires and/or suspension work

There's your issue

Why?

Real power requires real tires.

Real power requires real tires.

I don't think they aren't " real " tires, they may not be the best, I understand that I could get a better tire, I bought these tires before I had the supercharger.

They held great under stock power, if I got a better tire that isn't a drag tire I am sure I would still be having traction issues in 1st and 2nd.

I don't just like to go fast in a stright line, I like to hit the corners.

R888's

I thought about the R888's

Have you used them?

I am also going with R888's for my setup. Right now I can only get traction in 3rd with the track pack Pirelli's and 373s.

Hoosier makes road racing "slicks" in a radial (A6/R6/A7/R7) so you can hit a corner or two lol.

Yeah I'm going with r888s for my stage 2 VMP. Found a site with a winter sale 10% off, was able to get a set of 4 295/30/18 for $1044 shipped. They are on backorder until april probably also but it won't be warm enough to drive the car in Ohio until then anyway. I'll post back once I actually get to try them out!

I would go 3.08's and R888's, that's what I'm doing. These cars are geared very short compared to most V8 sports/muscle cars. And street tires are not cut it. There's going to be a compromise you have to make between how sticky your tires are and how long they're going to last.

Im running a 3.90 and I hook decent but its too low so Im going back to 3.31s. I run the MT ET street Pro 25/60/15. Best tire I have ever ran for traction
