SR - got a question for you.
You said you don't take your car to the track and that you run 25 lbs boost. You have a few more (and larger) mods than I have and obviously make more power.

My question is HOW the hell do you run it with that much boost on the street and get any traction?

I run about 20 lbs and traction wise it is almost impossible to run it on the street. There is NO way I can run anyone from a stop or a first gear roll without a LOT of serious pedaling until about mid 2nd gear. I have 275 60 15 Nitto DR's, air bags and boxed lowers. Are you running a lot bigger tire than me? I'm suppose to get an H&R rear bar when he has some available and hopefully that will help. Just wanted to know how you do it. Some of these new cars with AWD or huge rubber are a serious threat if you can't get great traction. Even lesser cars can be a handfull if they hook immediately while I'm sideways. I'd just LOVE to be able to punch it in 1st gear from a roll and go straight with bite.

Thanks for any insight.

Terry
