Will. . .do you mean going into 4th? Might be just me, but at 110, I'm shifting INTO 4th.

Actually yea I thought about it I'm pretty sure revlimiter shifting into 3rd in my car now is around 90 thinking about it. I'll have to go check it out. Limiter is close to 7k.

So maybe not 110 but close to 100. I'll check

I can roll into the gas at that mph and haze the tires, is that normal? BTW I roll on brand new ten speed tires. They have less than 3k miles.

The loss of traction could also be poor suspension geometry.
I haven't had too many traction issues w/ the 2-3 shift and the tires I've ran don't tend to "chirp" when they break loose either, but getting to the top end of 2nd while WOT, I'll start spinning and getting squirrely and have to lift. This was on BFG KD and the RT-615's. Both are pretty soft tires, its the stock 3.42's and I've done this on different roads and surface types. Didn't notice it at Ennis though.

It's actually almost all suspension geometry. My mom's luxury saloon has 225s on all four corners (I have 275s at all corners) and my mom's car gets much better lateral traction (and by that, I mean even if my foot is completely out of the gas on a turn, so the amount of power the cars make is irrelevant).

It's not as much power as lack of traction and a good strong clutch....I'm about as close to a stock engine as you can get, but Ive got some data logs of breaking mine lose on the 3-4 shift at 104 before the shift 106 after and peaking @ 114...not power shifting I'm coming completely out of the throttle. My car hot on a mustang dyno put up like 286 hp and 330 ftlb's at the tires (315 35's) with 146K on the clock. (it was a while back ago and the dyno numbers my have been slightly different but was by no means a powerhouse)

...my 10 bolt doesn't like it much either....but I'd rather the tires to get a little lose than break the rear.

Its normal. I remember being able to chirp them with street tires around that speed.

On the drag strip, it's worse. I'll start to lose the rear end from second to third when making the run.
