Default I hate this... wheel spin...

I'm not used to having decent torque/power under my foot, so I'm still getting used to this LS/VTEC setup I have, with a ACT 6 puck kit and b16 cable tranny... grabbing out of first at night time is rediculous. So if I have to let off the gas, it seems like I can't stay within my power band. Also I have polyuerethane motor mount inserts and a short shifter. By that time... the car next to me gains the lead.... boooooooo!

I can't imagine upgrading these GSR cams either and trying to lock up out of second

Any suggestions from you pros?

Might be a dumb question, but have you tried running on slicks or drag radials?? They should eliminate some of your wheel spin.

What is your set-up? What size rims/ kind of tires. Maybe it's time to look towards suspension camber kit, adj. shocks, and some nice coilovers/springs.

One of these is prolly the answer now that i think about it... i have matrix coilovers, and busted oem front shocks, but i do have sprint camber kit. I am running Kumho ecsta 711 205/50/15 on 11lb rota slipstreams. The front left tire is worn pretty even and prety worn for only haveing 1300 miles on them. But since I don't have LSD, that's the only tires burning.

my setup isn't crazy but decent...

b16 head GSR cams, milled .030, 3 angle valve job
Crower springs, retainers, ss valves
ITR IM with p/p LS TB
DC 4-2-1 headers
3in CAI
No ps or ac
B18 block decked .008
.25 over ITR pistons
JDM S1 tranny
12 lb flywheel
ACT 6 puc HDPP

All in a pretty much gutted DA...

The tires aren't worn, they only have 1300 miles on them.... guess the shocks will do that... I thought my car had power, hahaha
