LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 12y 4m 22d Posted 06/11/16 10:50 AM Share Posted 06/11/16 10:50 AM (edited) I'm after more traction on the street . I've been looking at the ams 2000 probably over kill for a street car . But if it gets the car down the road with minimal wheel spin it would be worth it. Can anyone recommend a boost by gear/speed boost controller ?

I'm well aware of throttle control and running better tyres but I'm after something more. I can get the car away from a standing start at a good pace without a lot of wheelspin but I believe with a good boost controller the car would be quicker.

BAXRTUTE Gold Donating Members 2,639 Member For: 9y 1m 29d Posted 06/11/16 09:56 PM Share Posted 06/11/16 09:56 PM Id love some 315 r888s though 35 side wall farks my front set up of 255-265 due to control arm.

Expand now now now, I think the widest I can go on my 19 inch wheel would be a 255? 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92629-traction-on-the-street/#findComment-1620099 Share on other sites More sharing options...
LU82 Bronze Donating Members 569 Member For: 12y 4m 22d Posted 06/11/16 10:45 PM Author Share Posted 06/11/16 10:45 PM I haven't tried r888. I was running 275 40 17 drag radial , maybe the r888s would work better on the street. I still think boost by gear would be the best option Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/92629-traction-on-the-street/#findComment-1620100 Share on other sites More sharing options...
