my only possible guess is because i have the limited slip differential in my car

 

The damper will help transfer power more effectively (sp) to the ground. This could result in more wheel spin. The key here is to use the Stiffy's adjustability and tune for your driving style. The stiffy has adjustment in it to allow you to tune it for your style. If you launch high in the RPM's the stiffy should be set on the stiffest setting.... and so on down the line. A "Stiffy" will help some with wheel spin. The main thing the stiffy does is transfer the violent movement of the motor when you do a high rpm launch into usable power. If your tires are bald, all seasons, etc.. the tire is limiting grip now. Everything you change has positive effects and negative effects. In the case of the Stiffy there are very few drawbacks.

 

any idea how big and or wide tires you can fit in the cobalt? i sorta want to keep my old rims but there giant even if if i were to go lo pro tires. right now i got 275/40/18 and 295/45/18

 

As a new member and owner of a black ss/sc I laughed at this post....the very first post I read. It is exactly what happend to me the very first time at a light.....embarrasing. Since, I've tried several different methods to minimize the wheel hop....NO LUCK!!!!
The very first post I read and I am enlightened.......thank you!

 

Now this is the Godly information i needed badly!! Im no gentle type with cars!!But on my first ride i burned out- i speeded up the third gear to the cutoff- It was fast!! But i never though of startup traction....i though id get the hang of it...This is my next mod for sure!!

Tks a bunch Denny!! You'll save me lots and lots of frustrations over this summer!

 

Wait, I don't want to sound like a buzz kill, but don't these things bend all the time? I havent seen a straight one yet.

 

Had mine for 6 months and it is straight as an arrow.

 

Cool thanks guys.

 

I Just Installed That Bad Boy Last Friday And Presto Instant Tourque Hook Up, Has Any One Noticed An Increase In Engine Noise With This Installed!
I Know That It Increases Stiffness In The Motor Mount Area But Is The Noise Because Of This???

 

Yesterday night a dodge ram hemi smoked me off take-off. We were only racing a 100 meters or so, so I didn't have a chance. On top of it, we were racing in the rain.

Don't even bother racing in the rain! You'll never win.

 

wow great write up just what i needed to read to be convinced on getting the damper now this is my next mod after i pay off my rims and springs and projectors
