Question Spinning 3rd Gear?

do base 6mt tl's with no mods spin 3rd gear?

i'm just curious if my car has really gained any horsepower with the mods that i have , compared to what i asked above? i have throttle body bypass 6hp? 3" AEM cai 5hp? mid muffler delete ?hp? i just had a brand new Exedy stage 1 clutch and new flywheel installed , just passed the break in period. my tl spins 3rd very easily , i don't dump the clutch, just take off normal.

If it's spinning 3rd easily, something is seriously wrong up front in the car. Either severely screwed alignment, something broken or the worst tires ever. You may have gained 5hp from all of your mods. Even the 400whp turbo TLs don't spin 3rd on street tires.

When I get on it in my '04 box stock manual TL, third gear will break traction a little but not to the point of what I would call spinning the tires. You can hear it, however.

i don't mean its spins like crazy out o control, it breaks traction for a bit is what i should have said, it has alot of torque.

probably the new clutch engaging faster. Could be because its cold out, depends on how much PSI your running in your tires and the conditions of the road/tires.
