First WOT run on 4.10s hmmmm...
 

So. My FR 4.10s are run in. Nice dry day. Took the car out for a WOT run and hard launch. I`m not the hard launch kinda dude but I thought I`d try it anyway.
Car is a 2003 GT Auto. Diablo 93 tune, Accufab plenum TB, K&N, catback etc. You get the picture. BEFORE the 4.10s went , on stock 17s and 3.27s the car could spin a tyre, no problem and chirp 1st/2nd easily.
Now after the gears I`ve added 18s with Michelin Pilots 295/35/18s.

Same launch. OD off and Traction control off. No spinning. 1st gear felt longer than I thought it would. Into 2nd there was a bit of slip then on to 3rd. Absolutely fuss free. I wasn`t expecting that.

Whats the deal? Was i expecting too much from the gears? It either feels like I`m down on power or I have plenty traction. I mean the car certainly tramps to 3 figures in no time. It just doesn`t feel as `frantic` as I thought. I watched a couple of 4.10 videos on youtube and they seemed lmore `fun`.

Any thoughts?

I`m actually thinking now I could get away with with Gas or a blower (even with the gears) . Dunno. :confused:

I'm sure it just isn't going to break the tires lose because you have much wider and stickier tires in place of the stockers. Time for more power :D other than blower or nitrous you could always go with a good head/cam/intake combo.

You have Michelin's, what you are experiencing is normal.
