For SC owners, how easily do you break traction?
Whenever the car is running well, it can break loose at virtually any point in 1st gear.
I tried from idle and every thousand rpm, no matter where i am in the rev range, 1st breaks loose if i wot!
Dont get me wrong, i love the fact that the power overwhelms the wheels. But i was wondering if anyone out DOESNT have this. If you dont, please list your tire/wheel combo as i am interested in finding out which tire can hold it best (without stepping to a race or near race compound tire)
(I have Pilot Sport PS2's which i feel are better than the original sports, but even these dont hold it from letting loose.)

I too suffer from 1st gear grip dysfunction despite the tire. I've had SO3's and currently running Parada Spec-2's. I've have T1-S's on sometime in the next couple weeks when I get my Centerlines.
BTW, do you know if you got any gains from the emanage with the S/C HBP setup?

My car has detonation issues ever since the blower went on, so the emanage should help it benefit in the aspect that i wont detonate anymore, thus more power!
Overall though, if you arent getting any detonation, the stock ecu actually does a decent job with fuel. From what allmotor and scalbert have told me in the past, i can probably gain some power in the midrange and a little up top, but no more than 10 whp.
However, the big plus of having the emanage is that you can run race gas with really good results.
