Turned out the tires had totally mismatched air pressure.. the passenger rear was at 38 psi. the driver rear was 36, the fronts were 31 and 32. The tape weight on the passenger rear was 2 oz. but only the tip of the weight was stuck on while the rest was just hanging. The front was starting to peel off as well. WTF?! I re-did the tires at 3o psi all around, and re-attached the rear weights. Handles 100 x better...

Last time I am going there for tires...

I have to get bigger wheels for the back then get new tires .....I should check my pressures, I haven't in awhile. My tires have done pretty well so far but the more used to the power I get the more aggressive I get with it the worse off for the the rears lol. The *** end does kick out pretty easy now.

Tire pressures make a huge difference. I am thinking of dropping them a little lower to say, 28 psi in the rear and 30 psi in the front. It still feels like it does not want to grip but the funny thing is, the rear end stays put!

Not sure if I like these improvements or not, the LCAs combined with the strut bar make for a super firm ride but now these tires feel like the weakest link.

How is the auto with 3.73s and the TVS??

Lets just say I can light em up at will. I had forgotten to turn off the TC and while doing 50 on the highway I went WOT and it blinked at me, caught me by surprise. I can only imagine what 410's would be like lol.
