if you have 15s with crappy tires, you will spin like crazy when u floor it.

right now i got 17s with kumho tires. never had any problems with this setup. the 3sgte just feels right in a 6th gen. i can honestly say that if i had to choose having my swap be fwd or awd, i would pick fwd.

u mean when you start out really slow in 2nd like at 2k then floor it around 4.5k my tires break free. and ive got nice good gripping tires? torque steer blows it will make the car wanna turn either direction so u have to hold onto the wheel tight. running 11 psi now.

haha i dont care every seems fine.

lol, going around a circle shaped on ramp my auto ST-T broke the tires loose in 2nd

had to let off the gas, that why high power fwd isnt good for track racing.

and that wasnt even with the massive power a 3sgte can make.
