post up a vid of the traction issues... maybe we can
help diagnose that problem....

lol yeah thats how feel too. As far as traction goes im thinking its just my stock suspension with that amount of power is not gonna cut it. I have nitto DR but they have about 12k miles on them so im sure there about done. Next mods are full suspension inc a 9 inch and a new clutch.

Thats a really nice curve. Screw the peak #'s. It makes 400+hp from 5200-6700rpm.

if the red line on the air/fuel graph indicates 13.1 AF, then is looks real lean, especially up top

Exactly what I was thinking.

So what should I tell my tuner? The car is running pretty rough. By rough I mean it back fires at high rpms and the car feels like it shutters real bad. Also when pulling out in first gear the car feels like it lugs really bad then kind of comes alive at about 2500 rpms...

Just curious, do you have an aftermarket fuel pump? If not do you feel you have the need for one? I've got H/C/I and wondering if I should install one.
