Posi Burnouts

Post by GMJohnny »

So I did a burnout in the 442 for the first time since the posi was installed. To my
surprise, the rear quarter went to the LEFT. My Vette used to swing to the RIGHT.
So I called Fred32V and he thought it should go left. I'm not sure. I don't really care
what way it goes as long as both wheels are turning. I'm just curious as to other
guys' experience with their cars. Please input your experiences with your posi cars.
What way did the rear end go in what car(s)?

My ass goes right in the S10, and I think that's the tendency for most cars too, but I'm sure that carrier offset and weight distribution could make it different based on the application.

I can't remember. I guess I have to take the out the truck find out. But I think it's to the right. Per previous post about weight distro, I wonder how much the crown of the road matters since it favors right.

I was looking through some of my TRP videos the other day, and my car sometimes goes left on the burnout. Not even sure why I remembered this post.. :lol:

When I first did the 383 stroker in my S15 it went a little left, that was 400 hp. when I went to 525 hps the posi went into the garbage 2 times then I went to a spool. Goes straight every time.
