Hey anyone else do this??? Or have you heard of this happening???

I just finished breaking in my ACT cluctch and Aluminum flywheel...and while cleaning the car I decided to clean the K&N Air filter cone...that thing was caked with a whole lot of crap...hadn't cleaned it since I've had it so probably a year or so. Anyway after I cleaned that I'm driving in first out of a parking lot at like 3000 RPM and decide that I'm going to gun it because I have it done it in a while...and I pick up and go then when I hit about 5000 RPM I peel out until like 6200 RPM and then I grab traction until I shift at 6500 RPM...I thought it was maybe just the pavement or something...but it seems to happen like everytime I floor!!! It is awesome power, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem...because I think this would definitely effect my racing but it is really cool to have control of traction until that point and then break traction...all of a sudden...I think it is kinda intimidating. What do you guys think??? Or have any of you had this happen??

Depends on the tires. If you're still on the stock tires, it's easy to get them to break loose.

Maybe your tire are getting a little bald, which eases lose of traction.

Actually they are brand new tires...with a lot of tread life left!!! I was just wondering if maybe the aluminum flywheel is causing that to happen.

The combination of your new flywheel and a nice clean air filter is giving you more power/torque. Enjoy it!

I am, and I just wanted to share to see if anyone else has had this happen. It is a whole lot of fun...makes me want to buy a Quaife limited slip differential...but I would rather put that money towards a supercharger!!! =) I'm going to take it to the track soon and test my 1/4 mile times and post them. Because I think I'm running low 14's if not real high 13's.
