If you're chiping 3rd with just a CAI what are you shifting at 6500?

Torq is peak starting around 4500 i think so you do need to take it up near that high

I have 18 x 10s and I wish I had traction. I spun so much at the track last weekend I almost hit the wall. Let me tell you there nothing worse then having to hit your brakes when doing a 1/4 race.
Dang not sure what tire size your running but I'm sure its 285 or better, and your still having traction issues[&:]Is that on or off the bottle? I ran some guys last night and for all my effort I couldn't help but to fry my tires all the way through 1st gear, kept her pretty straight though. But that was on the stockers.

I am a manual, but I spin pretty hard on my 1-2 shift. Enough that I have to actively keep the rear end under control, and I get a good chirp on the 2-3 shift.

However, it is hard to get my tires to spin from a slowroll at 5 to 10 mph, BUT.....If I do a drop clutch start at only 1500-1750 rpm I will spin really bad. So obviously I have the low end torque, but from a roll it really doesn't show it.

I think it still has to do with the throttle-by-wire. I know tuners compensate for that, but it still exists. I wouldn't worry about it too much.

rev it to 6k and drop the clutch...if they dont spin there is something wrong. If i powershift into 2nd i spin all over the place but Im also running about 450rwhp.

If you're car is modded enough to run 12's... I suspect you should be chirping at least to third... I don't know how anyone could do it stock, unless their tires are about to need replacement
