Default Sy3500 and 3.73..?

Well the sy3500 is going in and the car should be back tomorrow. I thought about doing the 3.73's to combat the looseness. Decided to wait to see just how loose it will be. Question: Will that converter and 3.73s not cause major traction problems??? I already have issues with spin before the converter and stock 323s??? Going to be on street tires all the time would consider Drag Radials if an absolute must, but would prefer not too. Ideas, opinions and any info much appreciated.

going to 3.73s will increase traction problems. Save your money and buy a tuning product. You can then change part throttle shift points and that will help the converter feel tighter.

BTW, if you have RSAs, there are much better street tires out there. I do keep nittos on my car and really like them in the warm weather. They suck in the cold.

one good hook on my nittos and i murdered my rear end. keep your 323's there fine. u can get a "stickier" tire without havin to go with nittos or bfg's. once i get my car back im getn "good" street tires. imo its all how u drive it...u want to roast the tires. you know what to do. if you want to hook up. you kno what you gotta do.
