What converter is in your car? That's where especially on a turbo car, you need it just right. Loose down low and tight up top.

Nice job again!
Thank you. I'm still on stock upper and lowers myself. Guess I shouldn't said full suspension lol. Like already said. It's all about the 60ft. I fought traction for little while. Keep moving things and finally got it right. It's all about have everything working together. Susp, power, gear, stall, and weight. Good luck can't wait to hear the results

Its a custom converter. Its a 3000. Its a local guy who makes them. He's good at what he does and will adjust the converter as much as I need for free. He usually gets it right the 1st time
