No, but i'm not going to spin taking off in 4hi. I didnt wanna draw attention to my self by burning the tires off so i just gave it half throttle in 4hi and took off like a slingshot lol. both hands have to stay on the wheel or it will go anywhere.

Oh,,,your not supposed to run slicks on the street?

I run mine on the interstate on the way to the track at 65 and 70 MPH.

Yes, as posted.You will need to have the trans pressure adjusted, and possibly shift points as well.
