It seems that I dont have much time in first gear since I upped the PSI. Should I feather the throttle to keep from loosing it at top end. I just up the psi and I think I'm loosing wheel tracking at the top end of the RPM range. I guess I should go search this out, but I'm not sure what to search for.

well.. at least you have traction in first gear.. or do you?

at 5.5 psi on the small 15G i loose traction. I hit full boost at 4-4.5k and I just spin to all hell.

what rims are you running. im running 5.5 wide del sol rims and 1st gear is completely usless at 8 psi. if i do a pull from like 2g in 2nd, by 5 grand the tires are up in smoke its pretty fun

my turbo lags too much it wont burn up the tires i guess that good?

this is just part of having more power on a fwd car; a lot of guys with 400+whp can't get traction on street tires until 4th gear. With my 220whp, I would burn up 1st and 2nd with my 14x5.5 LS rims on 195/60/14 tires. I now run on 205/50/15 Falken Azenis and don't break traction even in 1st. Try 'em for a daily street tire or use a drag radial if you're on the track.

right now first gear owns me if I give it throttle all the way down I lose traction. I'm running some 14 inch 92 GSR wheels. I think I need some new tread maybe some azenis or such. I cant afford **** right now I might have to go with the walmart specail tire. BLAH

i really don't get how you lose traction with only 160 bhp....

stop pouring bleach on the tires, and release your e brake.
