Default chirping into second

just thought i'd share the joy of a tuner with you all. I highly recomend one. It may be my first actual mod but it totally makes a difference, had it for a while, just thought i'd throw out some advice to those thinking bout one.

You don't need a tuner to chirp the tires into second.... shift at about 4500 - 4800 RPMs and go full throttle into second so you hit second at the torque curve peak.

Yeah mine use to spin in 2nd and when i got a tuner it chirpd and now sometimes it spins in 3rd which is weird.My tires are worn out so that must be what.LSDs are great,they give u full control of the car.
