Since i put 285/40R18's on the back I can get a little sqwauk out of the back when I shift into second but no longer anything in 3rd. With factory tires I could lay a 20 ft patch when I shifted into second. I think I need to get 4.10 gears installed. 255/50/zr-17 kdws in back i know what u mean on the stock tires...i got it to whip sideways several times on the 1-2 shift (kinda scary at the time). before gears on stock tires i chirped good into 2nd, and about 2/3 of the time scratched at all into 3rd (never 4th). btw, 4.10s are gods gift to performance in this car IMO. i give them credit for my 13.2s with horrible 2.1xx 60's with nothing but gears and pred tune |

I can break loose in 2nd, but not even a slight chirp in 3rd. Are you power shifting? I'm taking it to about 6000-6200 and shifting hard and fast. No power shift either. Is that my problem? :scratch: :scratch: jeff |

My wife is thinking of getting a new car in the next 3 or 4 years, perhaps you'd just like to tell us what make, model and color? Sean |
Look at these sigs with the guys chirping 3rd and 4th - they ain't stock :)
For my car its all an issue of very hot temps...tried this morning before it got hot and again tonite after it had cooled down a bit -squeels like a kicked dog in both ears. Doesn't matter if TCS or AC is on or off. But during the heat of the day - no chirp. I think someone else had it right, its still grabbing then - just you don't get the chirp because of the hot temps.

I have never had any problem chirping 2nd gear, and that's including at 5000 foot altitude and in the 100 degree weather.

My 05GT M will get a pretty good chirp into 3rd and will even try to get a little sideways sometimes, even on a dry concrete road. My only mods are a Predator 87 oct tune and Ford Racing 4:10s. Into 2nd it gets real squirelly.

Look at these sigs with the guys chirping 3rd and 4th - they ain't stock Well except for the carbon fiber license plate frame on the back. Maybe that gave me a 20hp gain :dunno: Kinda like all the stickers that give the ricers a 50hp boost :-D jeff |
