uh...spinning from a roll is NOT a problem for me, keeping them FROM spinning is the problem !!...and that's with 285/60-17 Kumho Ecsta's !!

the more you spin the slower you go !!...if you can keep them from sinning you can pick up .1 or so in the 1/4 mile

I can spin at 25mph when I punch it on my stock tires. It depends on the pavement though. Sometimes it will do a nice burn other times I just get a good squeal. I try not to make a habit out of it though because I don't feel like buying new tires all the time.

wish i could spin at 25mph. when the temp dips below freezing, then i will be able to. i spin easily at 1/4 throttle from a complete stop. that is due to my TC. i still do not have the eaton installed yet. it has been sitting on the floor in my bedroom since the spring. hope to get it in this month. i am going to make a new post about what the going rate is for someone to install posi.
