3rd gear wot at 40mph is not very smart. Its going to be slow and hard on the transmission. Get better tires.

a lot of those options aren't that expensive but they tend to lean more toward people that drag race for the op his problem would simply be solved by not stomping on the gas pedal, my car spins for like 2 seconds and then its good, these cars don't spin enough to lose a lot of traction from a roll

Would a rear sway bar help with traction? If not what suspension component would?

Not trying to come off cocky (im just trying to help) but im pushing more hp/tq then you guys having these traction problems, and well i dont have any traction problems and i brake boost in second gear from a 40 roll. I catch and go with maybe a bark of the tire.

How is all this possible?

good tires and suspension

Having a quick car isnt really all in the power you make.

It because of the tq the k04 makes at low rpm. Ask your tuner to make some tweeks so it doesn't come in so hard or learn to pedal your car. I'm running full power in 2nd 26psi
