LOL...if you don't have tractions issues with a Whipple then you should be worried. No really though that's why Whipple came out with flight controls where you can set power by gear.

Flight control is a huge help but you should also look into some suspension mods to help plant the power. On the street, you're going to have to finess the power to the pavement regardless, but suspension and a tire will help for sure. I would look into our Street/Strip suspension pack featuring BMR components...

If you have any questions about other items to help put the power down, don't hesitate to ask us!

I went with a huge 325 wheel in the rear and I get pretty solid traction with the Whipple. It depends on type of pavement, temperature, etc.

Looking to get into a Lethal Performance BMR kit in the near future...

Like [MENTION=13877]sonic[/MENTION] I too run an MT ET S/S and I have ZERO traction issues. I run a 305/35/19 and with 5% power out in 1st gear I am able to stick. I have yet to try full power but don't doubt I can't put that to the ground either. 2nd gear, never not able to stick. I also have some suspension mods that will definitely help you out too.

Does that 5% mean you are running 1st gear using only 5% of what the Whipple is capable of or 95%? Guessing 5% is 5%, so basically N/A type power in 1st gear?
