Where you need to start with your tuning...

Do some long 15-20 minute long long stretches on the highway with varying rpms.... no WOT. Get your MAF trims in check.

From that work on your timing, and fuel delivery.... then crank the boost and keep playing.

You'll get it eventually!

So, would you recommend the 555's? In terms of traction on the streets, not the track.

yes, i do recommend the 555's for street traction.. my reasons why- even with all the power i have, in 1st and 2nd i still spin a lil bit, but they warm up and stick hardcore.. and, i have driven them in the snow/ice and they feel a lot better than the stockers... very very nice tires... im glad i went with 235/40zr-18... i will never get any other kind of tires unless i get a set of slicks for the drag strip. i give these tires a 10/10

If you're driving the 555's in the snow you have a deathwish.

well, maybe its just me, but i thought they handled extremely well i the snow/ice... they got me around no matter what and where i was at in illinois, to get to my house i had to drive on frozen/snow covered highways, and hills that were nothing but ice, and uh, i made it every time no problem.. so, stop bashin on the 555's.... YOU MUST BE THINKING OF THE 555r's....

Good to know, thanks.. I was either going to buy the 555's or the g force kdw2's, but now im leaning towards the 555's, seeing how much power you must have and you say they still stick
