question about wheel spin through the gears
might not be the right place but it was the best i could tell. on the street, what kind of wheel spin are you guys seeing with stock 3.42 gears? i have nittos and stock gearing and im just wondering before i get out there and romp on it how somethign around 440rwhp would hold up through 2nd and 3rd on hard accel?
also want to know so i can choose a gear to go with. just let me know what you guys see, i would imagine first wouldnt hold up but i dont know if it would spin them in 2nd or at all in 3rd, im doubting 3rd (except for when you first hit it) but i figured i would ask. thanks

I use to run N2O at 471 HP through the stock gears and nittos. So pretty close HP.
1st gear the tires would light up if I went WOT. I had to feather a bit, but could stay in it for the most part.
2nd. If I power shifted they would light up good. But after babying the shift I could mat it through the entire gear.
3rd. Shift the crap out of it and the tires chirpped a bit but would stick. Matted it through the entire gear.
Now its a little different

b. modding a car does not come with instructions on how to drive it with the new power. you have to relearn how to drive the car each time it becomes more powerful .... and what better place to ask for strategies on driving it, than on a forum where 10,000 other people have the same problem?
