it can make it spin but thats shouldnt be your concern. Getting that pwr to the ground should be your concern.... more pwr to the ground = faster times.

Yeah i am running around with the jdm itr tranny, 14'' wheels with winter tires...there is just no traction at all. Even when i was n/a i would still spin into 4th slighty...basically just a chirp.

Quaife LSD + drag radials = drastically reduced wheel spin.

LSD is something every turbo FWD should have.

Yeah traction sucks a fat one. But when i do run slicks and i stick...look out! I have never been in a faster accelerating car. I have to stop borrowing my friends slicks...one of these days i will buy a pair.

I am not making alot of power with my B18B turbo (<200 whp) setup but one time at the track on a cold night I was spinning 3rd gear pretty hard. I was breaking loose from my hard shifting and letting the clutch fly home. My times where 14.0 @ 105 with a 2.389 60 ft.

it all matters what tranny u got and your gearing

any itr or b16 tranny is going to spin a lot more then a b18a or b18b tranny at 300hp

most itr trannys don't even get full boost in first gear the gear is crazy short in a itr and a jdm s1 tranny

If you wanna spin all the way through 3rd, get some Dunlop D60/A2 tires. You will not grip in third gear when they're really cold.

how did u run at 105mph with only 200whp? u sure about that? 200whp will get u more like 100mph traps.. 230-240 will net around 105.. maybe u r making more hp then u think

i ran between 106-109 mph when i had 196@wheels with my all motor setup. I could also spin all through 3rd and a little of 4th if I tried and a nice hard chirp into 5th. It all depends on your suspension and tires.
