Ever since I got my flywheel/clutch upgrade and turned up the boost a little...tractions is a nasty problem... I'd I'm going straight, in 2nd gear, then floor it...(even at let's say 20mph), once the turbo spools i start spinning so fast I hit redline... it breaks free at about 4000rpms... I want to say the flywheel/clutch made a huge difference, because I felt a gain, but was my stock clutch that bad? I'm at about 6psi right now, and at about 5psi at redline. The car revs EXTREMELY fast... I'm assuming that's part of the problem, but I didn't expect only 6psi to make that much torque... now that i have the alcy sensor and sprayer installed i think im gonna wait till i get my rims back on until i dare running 9+ lol...

It's a great feeling. Even with the Potenza S-03 Pole Positions I have on the Civic, I can light them up in any gear but 5th just by flooring it. With the stock tires, it was impossible to not light them up everytime I spooled.
