How to tune drag car on Need for Speed Prostreet?


I need help to tune my supra that's for drag racing. I have all the level 4 packages. Is there different ways to tune for regular drags opposed to wheelie comp's?
If you answer, please give me the %'s of the tuning.
Thanks

swap your tier 4 suspension to a tier 2, it will handle much better. I checked out you tube for drag tuning pro street supra, and got mine into the 5's with what i saw. Just off the top of my head though, your turbo top bar, almost all the way to the right, bottom bar, all the way right, timing all the way to the right, tires, max inflation, and as wide as possible for the rear, and skinny as possible on the front, all gears should be almost to the left side of the bars, that's about all I can recall right now, check out you tube, it will show you the complete set up for the supra~ as well as some awesome vids.
As for wheelie cars, the 69 Camaro is the best, it will easily do 1338 each pass. No NOS needed, with just the basic setup.

Steeda Autosports Springs - Superlite Drag Springs [79-04 Mustang]


$249.95


"According to Steeda: Steeda's SuperLite Drag Race Springs use a longer front coil that stores more energy to lift the front of the car during launch, aiding body rotation to transfer more weight to the rear tires for increased traction. The right rear spring incorporates a progressive coil design that reduces the effect of axle torque, reducing body roll and helping the right rear tire stay planted to the ground during launch. The spring rates are tuned for improved traction at the strip, while maintaining good ride quality and acceptable handling on the street. Just like the name says, Steeda SuperLite Drag Springs incorporate the latest manufacturing technology to reduce weight. They weigh 6 pounds less than comparable springs from Eibach or Ford Racing.;;;;Ride height is about the same as stock springs. However, because the springs are softer than stock, ride height may be more affected by the weight of the vehicle than with factory springs. Full-weight street cars typically sit 1/4 to 1/2 inch lower than stock. Light weight race cars will sit a little higher.;;;;High torque cars can further minimize axle torque induced body roll with an optional airbag kit (sold separately). Fine tuning the air pressure inside the airbag can help the car go straighter during launch."

Supra engined ae85 drag car

How does the nose of a drag car stay on the ground when the engine torque is lifting it up?


I'm asking specifically about rail drag cars (the long ones). The large engine should be lifting the front wheels off the ground and right over the car but they don't seem to.

What is the physics involved in this? DO NOT give me an answer about aerodynamics, I'm talking about before the car gets up to speed.
I've seen some with wheelie bars and some without. I've also seen some with nothing more than "trolley" wheels at the front. How do they do the weight balancing?
It takes just 15/100ths of a second for all 6,000+ horsepower of an NHRA Top Fuel dragster engine to reach the rear wheels.

So please stop saying that the spoilers keep it on the ground. I'm thinking that weight must added to the nose.

The short answer: It has to do with vertical force on the rear wheels. The long ( an very technical) answer is at the link below.
