Traction

Hey guys i was wondering if any body has any ideas to get more traction. I have trifecta 22 psi tune increased rev limiter to 7,000 borala exhaust and AEM cold air intake. right now i have Yokahama S drive tires. Any ideas on what could do for more traction?

Torque reduction in first gear and reduced boost in second as well. trans mounts and sticky tires.
Why 7000rpm?

Best mod for traction? Learn to drive. Pedal through second and hit third. I'm assuming your just matting it to the floor?

On the stock turbo your power band drops significantly after 6,000 rpm. As for traction; rotated motor mounts, slicks (or some sticky tires, you can go up to 245 but will rub on a tight turn), and practice (driver mod).
