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

umm.. if u romp on it.. yeah i'd say it's going to spin lol. Be gentle with it? Get better suspension? If you have to ask, why are you driving a 440RWHP car?

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

im just asking cause i want to know how its gonna react, susp has been alllllllll upgraded. if they are gonna spin so bad i dont really wanna go to the track. my dad drives the car, i lost my license so i dont know how it really feels and he can never give me a good answer. id hate to go out there to the track and waste my time out there if it wont hook up, but if itll hook in 2nd i could deal with it in 1st

I'm curious as to how you lost your license man. And when do you get em back?

a. apparently you've never driven a car with a decent amount of power. I have accidentally broke my tires loose in almost every gear and situation .... you're rule of "romp and spin - gentle = no spin" might work if you're driving a mini-van, but not when you're in a 400 -500 something rwhp car.

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?
