1st gear WOT car shakes like crazy
car is 2010 SS
When I'm in 1st gear and low RPM and go WOT, the car shakes like crazy i boost to only about 5 PSI and engine doesn't sound good.
If I go WOT at about 4k RPM its ok but only boost ~5PSI as well.
I'm more concerned about the shaking at low RPM though... What is this.
My mods are H&R springs, K&N SRI and catless.
Thanks

Anyway....WOT at 4K should peg the boost limit on that car....15-17 lbs. Something's wrong..boost leak?
EDIT: I was thinking 4th gear here for the boost! He wasn't talking about 4th gear! My bad.

If it's hopping and unloading the engine ....it would cause it to lose boost presure. I had wheel hop with my 06 SS/SC and it was bad ...... it was so pronounced that there was no way to mistake it for anything else.
