2nd gear + nitrous = bawls for traction
if i try doing a 40 roll in 2nd gear with my nitrous on, the tires chirp quite a bit ... i know that for every chirp, its lost traction, meaning less ground covered in the same amount of time.
what should i do?
also, if people are going turbo even at only 350whp and 320tq.... how are THEY going to keep to the road?... maybe its because once the nitrous hits, it his hard and the power isnt as smooth... but still
...ahh the futility of fwd

car i would say has maybe 20%-30% tred left and i don't spin my tires at all. weird

ha...ya lol, it can get pretty hot out here...this morning it was nice, didnt get much higher than 95* iat2 in the beginning, until i sat in traffic for 15 mins... lol, but it felt so nice this morning ...off bottle of course...too early in the morning to be blowin my load
btw, if i go with 235 widths, does it make that much more traction compared to 225's of the same tire?

i think it was me...and i think he was kidding... like i said tho
i have meth and am tuned for it...also, i have more control over the spray...makes a world of difference ...i just need to find the happy spot in terms of pressure compared to what my tires and handle...ill scale it down a tad and see what happens
