I spin almost half way thru 3rd if I am really getting on it with skreet tires (Goodyear Gatorbacks). I just try not to get on it too much on the street. I have MT drag radials for the track. The upper and lower control arms and adjustable shox (like 2004.6GT has) should help a bit. Lack of traction is just the nature of the FI beast. LOL.

upper and lower control arms, grendalli or w/e it is worked wonders on my friends stang...he used to spin his nittos till 3rd, after he got them put on he can get almost perfect traction from a 3500 clutch dump on the street...bogs on the track from like a 3k dump...amazing car but anyhow hes not pushing AS much power as you but it made a world of difference for him and it will probably help with you too

You, my friend, are in dire need of some full-length sub frame connectors and some new lower control arms. After they're installed and your blown baby has better traction than it did stock, you'll ask yourself "Self, why the ***** didn't I do this earlier?"

I dont understand what blower cars do so differently than my car. I sprayed the 150 shot tonight for the first time in 3rd from a 40 roll. Instant 475rwhp and 550+rwtq, and the spin was minimal??????? ON COLD 255 KUHMO'S!!!!!!!!!!!!

Maybe IRS isnt as gay as I thought it was.

JP how does your car handle in first gear. do you spin at all.
I spin a little, I haven't gotten to launch very well yet, due to my suspension problems.
Just get some dr's and heat the Sh*& out of 'em
