The spin issue is killer for me. I was running 18 psi, and trapped 118 in a full weight, every option s14. It spun outa the hole bad, and after getting into 2nd, it gripped, and then ripped the tires off again. I didn't evne bother running 20psi.
I just wish I could take my coilvers/sways/re set my alignment for not track spec, and see what she does with slicks some day haha.

This is why I keep telling people with BC cams to be a bit skeptical of their machining and quality. Again, to me, I'd rather stick my JWT stuff in, not hafta change anything, and make good power. Screw the gears, springs, and dyno time....
