crazy wheel spin!!!
since i had the icebox installed i really havent had a chance to see how well it works.. so on my way home today i figured i would try it out since there was not really any traffic and i was always the first one at the red light... i had her in SS and took off not at WOT right away buy it was pretty close... the car picks up really well ... when i took off of course i had some wheelspin (VSA was on) and when the car shifted from 1 to 2 again i got come crazy wheelspin... this happend again from 2 to 3... anyone know why this is happening? i know the intake adds power :gheywave: but it cant be this much.... anyone think it could be my tires?!?

More than likely, your tread is low. I used to be able to chirp from 1-2 gear and 2-3 gear with bald michelins. Then I got new Toyo Proxes TPT and no more chirp. All traction now!

Check your tire pressures too. Too much pressure and you have a smaller contact patch which equates to less tread on the road and hence less grip. An Icebox will not add enough power for you to be spinning tires like that. Forced induction will though. On wet pavement I can spin the front tires on my Dodge Caravan in addition to the TLS with the traction control off.
