Hello all, so I started putting on the go fast parts got most on today tune, 3 bar map, cooler thermostat and cai. Had to take for a spin and can not get traction even on a roll...granted it just got done raining. But given the weight and awd I'm concerned something is wrong with my awd system. Any one else have this problem? Tried the roll at 35 and 55 still broke traction.

Some people get a little traction issue when they increase the hp/tq. It also depends on road condition and tire tread and compound. Try it when it's dry and get a baseline and see if the tires are in good condition and have enough grip for the application. Do you have traction control off?

There are numerous factors. Here are some considerations. Bald tires, over inflated tires, the asphalt being wet, the oils from the asphalt rising to the top ect.

It could be a simple as the RDU overheating, and literally turning itself off. They do that.

Or it could be a malfunctioning RDU or the clutches in the RDU are shot.

Is this SHO new to you? Did it exhibit this behavior before the tune? Year and mileage?

This is all I was after geez fellers...and this is not exactly minor it's pretty wild as I have torque steer as well...I feel like I should post a clip to better explain if possible...it almost seems like 75% is powering the front

For the most part these forums are pretty helpful. Once the virus situation dies down, dragway 42 is the place to be. Not super familiar with summit county, but that should be up in your neck of the woods.

That's what I had thought, people must be stir crazy lol I'm from mahoning county originally...moved here for a job. They have a few drag strips and tracks kinda local. Have to add my down pipes and I will be done for a bit. Recently bought livernois goods and he said they are in the works of making an intercooler sounds the same as gearhead. I kind of would want a front mount but beggers can't be choosers!
