how bad is that lack of traction now that you are making much more power? do you ever wish that you had just bought an awd/turbo car insted of doing the swap? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned

It's sorta bad when you floor it. I don't know what it would feel like without LSD, but my traction problem isn't too bad. I just have to launch half-throttle... then once I hit higher RPM's, I can almost floor it in first. In second, it's similar... I can't exactly floor it until I hit the higher RPM band. Once I hit third... this no longer becomes an issue. Basically, I have to ease into flooring 1st and 2nd. I haven't experience torque steer yet. No matter what... the swap made a big difference and made my car one fast beast. Wait till I take her to the tracks... then I'll really open up and see what she can do.
