Hey I'm new to drag tuning but I've tuned my Jaguar XK R Performance pretty well but I just need to know how to fix the wheel spin. What should I focus on to fix it?
 
Up the toe and put ballast all wAy back but on 0 weight and play with it.
 
Theres no way of completely eliminating it, but yes the above does help a bit.
 
Also more camber puts more tyre on the road at one time.
 
No, camber causes a loss of traction.
 
-toe
-gear ratio
-weight
-how you control the throttle?

on some cars for launch, i start on 3rd or 2nd to take a little wheelspin off then shift down

??? Wheelspin is fine, no problem with this car.
 
As slump said there's nothing wrong with wheelspin as long as your laying down that power and not bouncin off the redline. As for camber it helps with launch if your first or whatever gear You start in is long i use it sometime's and helps alot.
 
Not too sure how I can help here, all i know is that when I used to be into drag racing, I adjusted the suspension so that the front end was as close the the ground as possible, and the rear-end was as high as possible, along with really tough suspension. Added to that, a little bit of ballast weight between the middle and rear of the car. It worked well for me, helped me achieve top speed and made the car aerodynamic. It's worth a try, if you have no luck then apologies. (Use racing:soft tyres, it makes a huge difference)
 
0 camber and positive toe may lower your wheel spin and try a 2nd gear launch.
