Right now i have whats in my sig as mods... when i try to take off anywhere in first, whether it be a launch or 20 roll, all i do is spin which continues through the first bit of second...i am getting new tires i think im going with bridgestone potenza 960's, not sure what size yet...but other then that what else can i do so i can stick//and not have wheel hop...i was thinking of getting ingalls td, i dont really want to get motor/trans mounts because i like my car to feel comfortable and no vibrations, so is there anything else, thanks guys.

 

not drop the clutch...ur ss comes wit perrelli bro

 

just get motor and trans mounts the ingalls still give vibrations

 

tires wont matter too much... I have tried a few diff. tires and still got hop... I put trans mounts and no hope....

 

you have to have throttle control in first, that's it for street use. i can't go wot anywhere in first, and for most of first can't go more than half throttle without spinning like hell.

 

i kno my car comes wit pirellis they are balding and they dont grip for ****... and ya i guess thats my only hope to feather the throttle in first kinda sucks though

 

that's just the way it is. i have lowering springs, tranny bushings, ingalls, etc. and while the car doesn't hop at all, it still spins like crazy. only way to do anything about that is to get some drag radials or slicks, which won't do u any good on the street.

 

we (cobalt ss owners) have to b the only ppl to complain about having pirellis lol every1 ik wishes they had my tires and yet most of u go and get new tires. ahaha

 

ya...my brother has an 07 ss....he got a tune where he put half boost in first...i mean 1 gear has so much torque as it is....just another suggestion...it help him wit wheel hop

 

the stock pirellis suck, not to mention they're expensive and don't last long.

 

I kind of roll off pretty quick up until about 20 KM then a straight hard push to WOT

 

he never said they dont...and ifu buy it used...it may not have pirellis on it.

 

mine work fine. i have great handling and launches well. im not sellin my tires til they are all gone

 

lol i dont kno man maybe i jus suck at launchin :P lol

 

lol it takes practice. get some motor, trany, and torque mounts and u should b fine with wheel hop.
i still dont get a great launch everytime but when i do no1 can touch me lol

 

gets even harder when you get more mods. just tonight i had a wide open stretch of highway after being stopped at a sign, went a little over half throttle and started spinning at the top of 1st, slammed 2nd and spun through 2nd. there comes a point where first gear is useless without dropping the boost.

 

mounts and get someone (cough cough) to tune some boost out of first gear

also the BFG KDWs are good tires to ge

 

i was looking at the KDWs but i need soemthing for all season and i thought the potenza 960s were rated good in a lot...are they ne good?? and yea i really want u to tune my **** since last summer, but warranty...which im starting to care less and less about, and i dont have a thing to watch the a/f ratios :*(

 

auto trans ftw! once im at about 15 mph or like 3.5kRPM, i can floor it and not spin...gotta be entle with the throttle before that though...

 

how much whp/wtq u puttin down?
lucky bastard auto with sc lol so much easier

 

never got it dynod

 

Don't go with the Ingalls, they vibrate just as much as mounts, and mounts feel more solid. Most people on this site who had the Ingalls went with mounts after a short while...

And I don't know if it's just me, but the actual shaft of my Ingalls has cracked right down the middle after 8 months. I only have it set at 12mm.

Also the washers fall apart, and the nuts on the dampener rusted out in no time. Not worth it.

 

The only thing that nice about the ingalls is that it can be taken off in 30 seconds . It's nice to take longer trips without any vibration's.

 

250bhp...idk how much to the wheels...maybe 215ish?

in all honesty, im jealous of you guys....not because you have a clutch, but because you have an extra gear. starting a 40mph run from the bottom of 2nd gear is no fun....its pretty damn slow...

I wish there was a 6spd automatic i could swap in

 

If you would rather have the SS in a Auto over manual... Please sell your car.

And spinning happens... I dont spin... but i also dont Jam my foot down... ease it...

Mounts help get the power to the ground.. but if you have mounts and you still spin, you should look into some tires...

Boost control is awesome.. Works wonders..
