I've been autoxing my TA for a couple of years now, I have a full Strano Setup on it now. Here's the issue, I'm having a hard time with "throttle management" seems that I can smoke the rear tires at will and I can't get the car to hook up. One of my buddies suggested that I try and run in 3rd gear instead of 2nd. Anybody ever tried this? Our courses are typically 60-70 mph max. It's not unheard of to bump into the reve limiter in 2nd gear depending on the course layout. Any thoughts? The car has factory 3:42's and a 120K mile torsion with 315 A6's

You could up the gear ratio if you wanted to run in 3rd.I would play with the pressure then maybe look at the torque arm.With the stock arm and the upgades you have does anyone else think that a off pinion angle could contribute to this problem?
