The answer depends on the conditions. At the drag strip the car was easier to 'hook up' after the Dinan tune was installed. My 60 foot times were very consistent, but not very fast (all were greater than 2 seconds). I didn't need to feather the gas pedal to get traction. It was 'MDM and mash it'. That said, when you punch it at road speeds between 35 and 50 mph, the car has much less traction. Flooring it at 40 mph forces the car into 2nd gear, and the car fishtails about 75% of the time. It happened both times I floored the car from 40 mph today, and each event was a little scary. I bailed on the throttle at about the same time the traction control system intervened. Fun, but scary. I will put new, fatter, tires on in the Spring. Hopefully that will help some.
