Traction...

[Got_boost02]

hey, i just turned up my boost the other day from stock to 10. now im at about 7-8 until my FCD comes in due to the cold. but i was wandering if you guys were getting as poor of traction in first in second gears now as i am. i mean, at a role in first gear, ill punch it and be totally lose by 5000rpms, shift to second and its just as bad? maybe i just need some better tires, what would be a better tire to help with traction problems?? god, i cant wait to see what it does with 10+!!!
thanks

I have had this problem since I got flashed. I'm not kidding. traction is bad. Even in 2nd gear, without trying, I can put the pedal down and once that turbo kicks in....no traction.

My boost is stock. Strange huh

Torque and soft rear springs.

Ohhh, you poor guys, tooo much power. Must be a sad thing to deal with.

I F'n wish I had that problem!!!!

LOL!

Yeah, with the boost turned up to 9 psi, in 1st gear with the clutch fully engaged at WOT, the tires break loose above 5000 RPM.

yeah, i guess i shouldnt be complaining!!! i do like the power, i just dont wanna toast my tires anymore than i have to. they've only got 8100 on them, and its almost time for a new set!!

most of it for me anyway is due to the tires being cold it does seem to get a little better once they warm up a bit.

WTF, why doesn't my car do this? My car gets slower after 5k. It's impossible for me to break the tires completely loose to - even when they're cold. And I've noticed that they do have far worse grip when cold but they still don't lose grip under acceleration.

Yep same problem. My looses traction a lot sooner than my friends msp which has spool springs.

Lower center of gravity, more traction. Check out me below, 2 wheel motion baby.
