Here is a little drive video to get the sound of the KB wine inside the car. Notice any time I excelerate I'm giving 1/4 to 1/2 throttle no traction in 1st second 3rd gear, that's what 460 ft-lbs torque at 2000 rpm does. Sorry for the crappy video I used my digital camera taped to my pass seat back and the roads are bumpy too. Anyway here ya go.
If it where me, and i was slipping around that much, you can go with a skinny micky thompson, such as a 9.5" wide tire, 28" tall if you need to get the gearing down a bit.
that will still spin when it's cold, but will hold much much better then any street tire obviously, and its not a huge 11"+ tire thats going to hurt part's when driven hard.
now......... How much for you to do all that work on my car???

I got a solid 17.5 PSI today with a 2.5 inch 6 rib pulley and belt, and no belt dust. I just couldn't wait for the 2.5 8 rib ASP is making me. I also am re-thinking this belt slip issue with the KB's and the route I was going, I'm not sure that belt slip really was an issue for losing boost. After talking with Carbinite Racing about the massive dust and belt destruction I found after using there pulley they now want me to use a manual tensioner. They are saying I need more tension on the belt and pulley to stop the belt destruction issue. I think this is a recipe for disaster as the KB drive system is not made to be direct drive so to speak. According to KB tech the friction drive system needs to have some slip to absorb shocks from the engine loads. The rotor timing and close tolerances are protected this way. Anyway once I will get the 8 rib 2.5" pulley I can compare with the 17.5 psi I got with the 6 rib. Its nice to know that the A2A setup can tolerate higher boost levels.
