as far as wheel hop after your shift to 2nd gear.... unless you've got a supercharger or a turbo i don't think the pro has enough juice to do more than chirp. But i don't drive a p5 so im really just theorizing.

your right when i hit 2nd it CHIRPS. some tracks are different i'll spin on some and some i'll get wheel hop, maybe iam at different rpms when i launch at different tracks. i'll keep my eyes on this and see what rpms get better launches.

thanks to all for info.

Found out last week that wheel hop isn't good for the tranny, i broke my second gear because of that. If only i could slip the clutch when starting but it's a race clutch so it's on and off, just going backward is a pain in the *** but it was worth it, i can now use the full potentiel of the engine in all gear. It slippled from third before with a centerforce double friction, got tired of trying clutch so i ask a clutch shop to build me one.

... except second.




How can you say that it was worth it if, because of it, you broke the tranny?

not the wheel hop, the race clutch was worth it and now the tranny is all rebuild with the awd gear i had spare from the awd tranny i received with my gtxd engine so i can use the power in every gear. The rebuilder i work with saw the difference between the synchro of the awd tranny gear and the n/a gear and told me if i ever pass throw another gear i'm really at fault this time.
