Traction issues

[luigisho]

I love Conti's. Just keep an eye on tread come winter if you drive alot and sort of agressive like I usually do when in my SHO.

It was very minor stock. I was thinking of trying continental extreme contact, any one have any input on these?

Have them on my SHO and like them so much, I put them on my ST.

My new PP with full GH 93 tune, IC, catless downpipes running Michelin A/S 3+’s won’t even spin the tires off the line. I really need to get some times on my car....

Waiting till my wrap comes for my down pipes to install at once...damn corona virus delaying shipments!

Might be striking at some locations.
Post back about impressions of handling differences with those.

The vibration will be extremely noticeable at the beginning. Once they start breaking in after a couple of hundred miles it will subside. In motion you will not feel it at all. However, idling and being stopped while in drive you will. This can be helped by raising your idle rpm by 100 rpm using a SCT device.

You will really notice a huge difference in the 1 to 2 shift (will almost eliminate all wheel hop) and the 2 to 3 shift is where it really shines. These also change the sound inside the cabin......see if you like it. I love every aspect of mine.

Good thing I drive it....maybe 40 miles a week lol still have to put on new pads/rotors got the dimpled and slotted, down pipes and definitely new tires..all sitting in my garage waiting for a few things to ship I think I read you have the gear head inter cooler? I'm debating to get this, really dont want to rip the front off but....

The GH IC is a great upgrade. It isnt bad to install. In my thread I posted some tricks I learned along the way.

I used Jordan's/ Gearheads install video below.

I do have a question on the additional power it claims. Would this be the case as if it were heat soaked or additional gains?

You will truly only see gains while you hard in the throttle. The stock intercooler isn't efficient and the IAT'2 (temp in the manifold) rise the whole run. On the GH they usually drop the whole run. That being said, they are both suspect to heat soak. After heat soak, my GH IC holds about 25 to 30 degrees over ambient while cruising. In my thread I have the info that I posted from my datalogs. Stock goes up, GH IC goes down. Matt has the same results.

Awesome, thanks for your knowledge. I will get some pics and dyno numbers when she is done!

Highly recommend putting those mounts on asap. Typically only takes about 15 mins and make a heck of a difference.

 

[Zpak]

Agreed. ^

No worries, it is always cool to see what happens with other members cars.

This, put the mounts in. They are super easy to install, esp with stock DP's.
