I got the FRPP tune installed Thursday. Hit it hard that night. And I think it would be a great tune for a rear wheel drive vehicle, especially for drag racing. But that not what we have, it just burns tires. 1st almost ZERO traction, 2nd breaks until about 4600 rpm, 3rd spins until 3k when it catches. Its almost useless. The stock tune was more fun because the vehicle caught and pushed once you got past 1st gear. So you high Tq guys... what do yall do to make that kind of power usable to any degree?

I'd hate to think theres nothing i can do and just dump the tune =/... and i mean for every day spirited driving, I know i can put slicks but that is not practical and dangerous for street driving

Have you gotten a RMM yet?
Have you gotten better tires yet?
Have you tried not using the throttle as an on/off switch?

#1- In front of me as I write this (Cobb). #2 - No running eagle ones summers that came with car. #3- no, i learned that QUICK! (most dynos on this tune are hitting 235-240 Whp with about 315-320 wtq ON THIS TUNE.. Im running GOOD 93.) Even in 2nd gear about 25 mph a 50 % throttle input...SSPPIINNN...its almost useless. So tires will help. What do you higher tuned guys run? what suspensions mod?

I am untuned so I cannot comment on tuned cars, but I can say that stock, on the Pirelli P-Zeros I have no issue keeping the wheels from spinning. It sounds like you are mashing on the go pedal, try a roll on (2 Mississippi) in second, I'll bet you get much less wheel spin. Its not about how much torque you have, but how quickly you apply it.

Weight shifts to the back on acceleration, so the act of accelerating unloads our go wheels. Just tap it in happy, tap tap tap-a-ruu.

Ease into the gas pedal and get better tires are the best things you can do.

Definitely RMM. But from what I've read the best mod by far is the Quife LSD, recommended before you do anything else.
Other than the RMM, you can also to the 2 other mounts (Turbo Tech has good ones).

Too much power for fwd.....Neon SRT guys found that out many years ago. Car sucks from a dig......that's all there is too it. Those Pirelli r-compound tires may help marginally but at $320 a pop?
Meh.....for the $ though and with an E tune, pretty damn good from a 3rd gear roll.

Don't treat the gas pedal as on on/off switch.

Stiffer springs will help keep the front end down especially with stiffer rear springs. Some tuners provide launch control options in your tune. Practice launching 3/4 pedal around 2k rpms. Upgrade the uhp tires to max or extreme summer performance tires.

Seems like an adjustment for the loose nut behind the wheel. OP thread is similar to what I read on here from members talking about how they always start off in 2nd cause 1st just spins wheels. Maybe Im old and/or not a digital driver, but I seem to get traction in 1st gear just fine.

...and make sure your struts aren't worn.

Driver mod.

Just reiterating what has already been said. RMM, Tires (I run 245s on my car), and ease the throttle. I can usually manage the wheel spin in my Stage 3 ST just fine. Also make sure you are running the COBB Traction Control, that helps quite a bit.

 

[brian60]

The stock F1s are fine if you can modulate throttle correctly (as about 6 others have said) you have to control the spin with your right foot, so take some weight off of it and practice it a little. The better tires will certainly allow you to add a little more to that weight on your right foot, but you'll spin even with warm racing slicks if you just bury the pedal and dump it. It's a hard car to launch, eating your tires off doing it incorrectly will make it harder and harder.

Better tires
RMM
LSD
Boost by gear
Stratified's (COBB's) traction control

 

[RoachRage]

I'm running just a 93-octane Stratified tune and got the Stratified TC with it. I am not having that much trouble. Some spin in first but then the TC kicks in, and just a bit in second and the TC keeps it from getting bad. I have an eFocus RMM. Tried the Boomba RMM and a turbotech UMM at different configs but the NVH drove me nuts. I am also running Michelin AS3 tires which have a little less acceleration traction than the F1's or super sports.

I recommend a better accelerator pedal application module.
