.....did I ask or tell you anything about your car ......and thats all great....but what makes you think I cant drive my car .....BTW I get more traction on the street with my stock BFGs then I do at the track my friend......

My buddy raced a Civic that I believe had a setup similar to your buddies, but running on more boost (Not 6 psi for sure). His turbocharged Z28 didn't due to well against the Civic.

the day he goes 20+ psi im pretty much done....and yes im going to need alot more than bolt ons to beat him.....Im pretty much going to need a miracle

no you didnt ask, but im saying that you dont have to have traction issues. you yourself admit you smoke the tires. im just saying that you would have had a better advantage had you actually modulated your throttle and not just dumped it.

such as slipping and feathering....trust tex I know....and I trust your judgement and knowledge....but at any rpm in first with streets the tires break loose no matter what I do......you have a s3r you should know what im talking about.....basically the solution is traction mods and practice.....
