We have people calling for it but with TN they want to make sure it is bug free so to speak before it is released. I would rather wait than have a company rush the product out unfinished.

For traction the Racelogic Traction control is phenominal!.

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.

Have you insatlled the SPC rear camber kit yet? I was really surprised how much more traction I gained back once I got rid of all the camber lean!!!

I have it, and couldn't tell a big difference. I'm running -.8deg of camber on the rear now.

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 still have no issues getting the rear out in 1st/2nd on my 285's in the rear, although I did tell a slight difference after the camber adjustment. I'm running Falkens right now so the traction isn't the best in the first place.

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.

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.
