Default question for guys running bigger tires (305-355 ) with "stock power"

how much wheel spin do you guys have when shifting into 2nd and 3rd gear full throttle? how much tire/mechanical grip does it take to get a wraps on 400-460 engine horse power ?

I made 415 rwhp with 4.10 gears on 295/35/18 summer tires on a hardtop. Without speed shifting, but driving aggressively there was no wheel spin going from 1st to 2nd and 3rd to 4th. Of course if you dump the clutch it will spin from a stop. Traction is good enough on the street at 3400lbs with 285's on up on the rear.
