Default No More Traction...

Now that the CAI, Flows and Tune are installed my LS3 the Tires just spin at WOT Launch. I switched to stickier PS2's (305/30/19), even lowered the PSI and while slightly better off the line, still spins to much.

Any opinion for the stickiest/best for hook up right off the line? I thought
PS2's were the best, I hope there are better alternatives.

it only get worse from now on! If you want traction you need to get a tire that is sticky. ( Mickey Thompson ET street ) (hoosier drag radial ) (Nitto NT555R or NT05R) (Toyo Proxey TQ ) (BFG G-force ). I just installed a new set of Toyo Proxey TQ on my car yesterday and I getting TRACTION!!!

Stay away from drag radials if your car is ever driven in rain.
