If you have traction problems, you need better tires.

agreed, what are you running for tires? And you paid to have 3.45's put in?

A guy down the street has an 05? Si. Wouldn't exactly call him a friend but I think he thinks of me as one. Anyway he has basically the same add ons with a torque converter and maybe some cam work and even though he only dyno'd. ~275 whp. The high end will make you **** bricks. It doesn't go much higher then 140 but it gets there prettttty quick

i got the stock size tires. Yokohamas, works good for the REALLY good roads. you know the ones with rocks all in it. decently sticky but just not enough for standard black top. I've been afraid to put bigger and wider tires on because I don't have the cash to replace the 7.5 right away and I'm a college student so i need to drive. considering i've heard people snap a stock 7.5 under factory power and i hammer my car. i want my ring gear intact lol

@Shaunmac9128 no I didn't pay to have them installed, last owner did. i don't think i will ever understand why but that's what they put in.
