RE: my first run with gears
I have a 2000 year model GT with Pulleys, 4:10, CAI, BBK Longtubes, BBK X-pipe, flowmaster, Steeda springs and Xcal2 tune.
I run really awfull, I am on stock rims 245/45/17 and it is useless, I can only start at idle or else I get wheelspin. When shifting from 1 to 2 gear I get wheelspin and the car goes sideways.
It realy runs worse than when it was unmodified. Hope this will change with some new rims and tires, I plan to go either with 275 or 285 tires. What do you guys think?

RE: my first run with gears
Not trying to be an *** but did you power shift? That can really jack up your times. Like my buddies 2000 T/A WS6 running 14.6's hahahah he never knew that you could power shift he thought your engine would like blow up if you went into the red.
Sideways???? Wow dude you must really be spinning. I would say new tires but still with those mods you should be running faster than 13.9.

He REALLY needs tires...
What kind of tires are you running on and what condition are they in?
EDIT: Didn't see you had 4.10's, I'm sure that has something to do with it.

Yes i power shift, feels like I am going to tear apart the transmission =)
The car goes sideways especially shifting from 1 to 2nd
I have 245/45/17 Fulda Extremo tires, there are about half the pattern left, but the tires are 4 years old, and have been on the car for that time.
And yes, I have 4:10 =)
