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

Better suspension? No, your stock (or lowered) suspension will suffice. Stronger brake system? No, also not necessary... UNLESS you car is going to be use strictly for racing with LOTS of HARD stops. I still have my drums in the rear (lack of funds to do the conversion at the moment), and I haven't had any problems. Now going back to what I said above, I tried testing it out again. I redlined first gear and shifted to 2nd (at 15.2 psi)... and THERE WAS ABSOLUTELY NO WHEEL HOP for me. Now I don't know if this is due to having LSD... or not. If I were to have shifted at about 5000 RPM, I would definitely hop in second. Again, I've never driven a high-powered FF vehicle, so I can't give an objective review. Hope this helps. |
