he cant chirp second....

[Raoul-Duke]

ok so buddy has got a 99 formula 6spd and just put on the slp flow pac intake...b4 he had it on he could chirp sec w/o power shifting...now that he has it on he cant so hes freakin out lol so does anyone know why this is happenin? oh n i looked at the intake... it is installed properly from lookin at it...any info would help

[stangkiller2005]

he hasnt done any suspension mods, or changed tires scence than?

[Raoul-Duke]

no suspenison mods...but he changed out his stock 16 inch 245's for 18 inch c6 rims...he was always able to chirp em in the stockers and was able to do it with the c6 rims when the tires were brand new...cuz usually new tires chirp a lot from my experience...but he only has a lil wear on the tires...like 3 months, but he does drive it alot...hmm u think its cuz he switched from 16 inch 245's to 18 inch 275's and now its harder cuz of that...i think this could be the only reason.....

Sounds like a plenty viable reason to me. That is a pretty big addition of rubber.

thats what i was thinkin to ...and isnt when u put bigger rims u lose some power too?...cuz i know smaller rims are easier to spin than larger ones and that is 2 inches

Its the combonation of larger, heavier rims and more rubber.

Ya,I'd say tires too....I had 265/35 Toyos that would spin al over and chirp 3 gears....I since got 275/35 KDW2s(LOT better tire) and Its harder to chirp second and 3rd doesnt do it at all anymore.....I meen you could prolly get it to,on a harder power shift,but I'm talking just regular ripping on it.
