evo x traction problems

I went to the track this week & ran into some serious problems.I just changed over my whole set up & make some more power & I am blowing all 4 tires off & I have no traction.Car has 19inch advans on falcon tires & I even have custom drag coilover with springs & I just can not hook. Car goes sideways everytime I lauch the car & I even lowerd the tire pressure & when the tires spins I have major problems putting the car into 2nd gear what can be my problem

If you remember correctly I set your 2-step up for 6,600rpm and roughly 15-17psi off the line(street settings you needed)...If I knew you were going to the track I would have lowered the 2-step to 6,200 and 10-12psi off the line and we could have worked it up or down from there with tire pressure adjustments.

Swing by the shop Tomorrow and we will play with a few things..Your car is up some serious torque from before so we have quite a few adjustments we need to play with before your next outing

This. And what kind of Falken tires? That could be your issue right there.

Sorry the rims are 18s not 19s & I can not but smaller rims on it because I need a small break kit 1100$ after I get that then I can buy slicks or a smaller better rims & tires so I can drag race. 400wtq does feel nice thoe

Tires are very important for the track. Nice size sidewall will work good.
