Through careful study and long research

I have determined that the power out put of my vehicle is sufficent to overwhelm the traction of the drive wheels.

In other words I finally got around to screwing with my profec tonight, going from 6 psi on the wastegate spring to 13 psi. I think it was when I down shifted to second, laid into the throttle and spun the rears for a couple hundred feet I realized I might have some traction issues with my current setup.

Re: Through careful study and long research

Yep. I'd like some Leader gears but I don't have the money and they don't exist anymore. Hopefully if enough people write in they'll make a second run.

Funny shit:

I was on my way back from scoping out a place up north when this Honda pulls up next to me. I'm trying to ignore him because my car doesn't eat junk food. Anyway, I look over, he pulls even with me and I can hear him downshift. So on a whim I throw it into third and floor it. It took about 2 seconds to go from 60 to 90 and shift to fourth. That was when I looked in the mirror and laughed because he was probably at least a hundred yards back.

I got on the brakes and he finally caught up, gave me a thumbs up with a rather amazed expression on his face as he drove by.
