Got mine done, still don't spin tires too, but smokes Lightenings

I don't spin tires either, but it might be do to the tune I have done to it. Check my sig for my mods. Still has a lot of room to go with 11:1 A/F Ratio.

I can light the tires up but only from a dead stop, anything over like 10-15mph and it just catches and goes.

is the innercooler pump working? how much boost are you pushing?

stock 3.55 gears. I can spin my 285/60/18 KDW2's which are traction rated at 300 AA A. Very very easy to spin from a dead stop. At 10mph I can chirp them but not at all like my other tires I had when I last went to the track. I don't have a whole lot done to the truck yet. A lot is stock other then exhaust and Whipple. I'm trying to find some rims/tires that will get me some traction

I dont see that smoking the tires at 30MPH unless you have POS tires. I had some that I could get to churb at 20ish, but at 8PSI I dont see a F150 blowing the tires off.

I guess my tires are POS tires then. I can spin my 285/45-22 Toyo Proxes STs at a 20 mph rolling start.

Personally I cant stand Toyo Proxes, just personal prefrence. However with that said, it must all be in the tuning, I ran a stock 8PSI Roush Nitemare and he had zero traction problems from about 20mph with his tires spinning.

4.10 gears are probably the root cause of my spinning.
