Default traction problems

Hi HT

i have a 88 CRX with d16z6 boosted, running 7PSI and i have alot of traction problems.

i have Semi slick tires on 15" weds sports rims 7" wide.
Ohlins coil overs. and JDM lsd gearbox

i have no strut bars and rock hard engine mount.

i keep spinning the 2nd gear,

i'd like to gain some traction on the first 2 gears, or at least 2nd gear

how?

what size tires are you running. im running 225/50/15 khumo V700 on 7" rota's for autocross. but im not boosting either. alot of people just throw 205 on and assume thats as wide as they can go. just saying u can easily fit 225.. but u will probably have to raise your car a bit or flare out your fenders a bit.. maybe just 1/2 inch. just some food for thought

If you are concerned about tread wear on m/t you should just go shop elsewhere.
