Russ.. you are thinking like me again. Nice Alan!

I have wondered what kind of traction I am going to have. My old setup would haze second, and it was quickly hitting 280rwhp. On paper, my new setup should net a somewhat laggy 330-350rwhp and equal torque. Fresh motor, K27/8, MAF/ARC, Hardpipes, 55's, ADJ FPR, custom chips, full exhaust, deltagate, MBC @18-20psi. Running 265 RE730's and LSD.

Got any ideas? Just want to know what I am in for... cuz I have no idea what to expect.

In reality, it's TOUGH to churn 245 Hoosiers. They might as well be glued to the road. CVs and clutches cry uncle first.

Alan... I think that noise you hear out back is your Weldon pump.. not the tires spinning!

Perry - your setup is very similar to mine. Except I've got a Garrett T04E-50trim/#8 hybrid. Do you have lsd or not? Like I said above, my setup is very controllable with my lsd and 255-40/17's out back. If the road's damp, I can break traction anytime I want in any gear. If the road's dry, I can break traction on corner exits in 1st to 3rd. In a straight line without using any clutch, I can break traction in 1st and a bit in second.

Perry 951

Yup.. LSD. I wanted this to be very streetable.. but also to rip it up at a DE or AX. Sounds like I made a good choice.

Perry,
The Weldon pump doubles as a jet ski.

the best solution is to learn how to use the accelorator pedal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />

If you think spinning is bad on stockers, try picking up a modified 89 with Guru chips, 3 bar, reliaboost, and test pipe and being stuck with the Design 90's teh P/O slapped on for some odd reason...225s in the rear become pretty well useless in 1st and 2nd on boost if it's below 70F

may not eliminate your traction problems, but it sure does make it more manageable / fun

Is the diff housing and driveline all the same from the 1987 to the '88+ 951(or 944 S2 for that matter)? I would like to find a wrecked '88+ and snag the LSD from it housing and all if possible and just bolt it up. It would certainly be easier than replacing the internals.
On a side note ... what can I do to increase boost and generally gain power beyond the changes currently made? I get between 12 and 13psi boost now ... and really only have traction problems in 1st with no LSD and 245 z-rated tires. Any guesses on the power my current mods make?

you could try running it with diesel. <img border="0" alt="[hiha]" title="" src="graemlins/roflmao.gif" />
