No, I shouldnt turn it up right now, which is what Im doing. Cant run lower than WG pressure anyway. Figuring out your issues is a much better way IMO to handle this than turning down boost and hiding them. Next step is stock wheels up front. Step after is new alignment and measuring of wheelbase....

Berto,
Your issue is the biased ply in the rear with low PSI and the WIDE RADIAL tire in the front.I experienced the same thing as you on the ET Streets, which is why I now run a Drag Radial instead. You said it yourself, the traction difference is minimal if we both can pull a 1.6 60 on both tires.

Im hard headed and in a sick way enjoy those runs 1" from the cones, I'll give it another shot on the radial/bias ply set-up. Other people have also commented that my car is not square (with exact same WOT/sway left symptoms) and like I posted above I have a plan for that. Skinnies/bias ply needed in front for 10's? Nah
Time will prove one of us right...

I cant run 15" wheels with my Brembo's.
I am not buying another set of wheels/tires. No good 16" DR sizes (255 isnt gonna cut it)
No offense but Im taking advice from the guy who set up and cured the WOT=left pull, decel=right sway on boulderz's 10 sec car. I believe it can be done without skinnies, so do they and so does a MT rep on the phone. Instead of blanketing the issue not seen/experienced on a radial/radial set-up I'll find it, fix it and get it done

Im not married You bring up yet another point, the stock VLSD is slow to react and can cause the pull as it applies power. A fully locked, or faster reacting LSD can also help keep the car straighter. It was on my list of things to do before the build even, just havent gotten around to it...
