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?

I was wondering, would bigger rims with thicker profile tires improve some traction? Since more power needs to be put in the wheels which would allow the wheels to have less spin and traction loss?

Just a thought...

Or is there some way to make a LSD work better for acceleration since LSD's are moreoverly made for traction in turns.
