No, the traction is not that good. That "300 ponies" you speak of ( in your perticular case..having no mods ) is at the crank, not the rear wheels. So drop that number by about 17% and then you are in the right neighborhood on your HP estimate. And with a 3800 pound brick like what we drive, not spinning the tires from a roll is not that surprising. Throw down on a descent ( not canned ) tune and a CAI and all that will change for you. With TCS turned off from a 15mph roll and floor it, I spin the tires all the way to redline in 1st.

something else that i find a little odd. if i turn the tcs off and go all the way to the red line in first then speed shift into second i can get a whole lot of wheel spin with no problem. also shep, i was mistaken about the handheld tuner. if you look at the tenth post down on the link i have the guy specifies "when my tuner did my program".

I just read the whole forum from the other site and a lot of that seems consistant with what I have experienced. This sucks I hadn't wante to put a CAI on this soon. but at the same time I don't want to get it tuned before I get a CAI. What to do, what to do.
