Good topic. Interested in seeing what experienced tuners like Sharif have to say.
This pretty much sums up my setup, stock sleeves, pauter rods, wiseco 9.1 pistons and arp studs. I'm making 508hp@7200rpms but i have a supercharger setup not TT.

I am with Sharif, I have not had too many problems with traction, but apparently I am not downshifting and dropping the gas to the floor. I tend to ease into it a bit as I am releasing the clutch, not just putting the foot to the floor after I shift.
I guess I just don't drive as hard as you guys do on the street. I really can't think of a time when I felt the back end just shoot out when accelerating in a straight line.
Even at the drag strip, on Toyo's with 490 whp... All I did was spin through 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. I never felt it go sideways.

I think BriGuyMax is running -.5 rear camber with his drag radials so you might ask him how it helped out with some good rubber.

thats funny, she was just telling me, along with a few other things....
well, i drive my cars like i am trying to break them. i will be running almost no camber here soon, i am going to straighten the rears out pretty flat. even in the G when the motor was in with 295 pirellis, just smoke them in 5th gear at any speed at 12 PSI... 1,2,3 and 4 didnt have a chance, and the G was stock suspension.
