I am speaking from expirience since I OWN an RSX-S with roughly 200whp AND an LSD...and I can tell you that 1st gear is pointless in my particular setup, even with Potenza RE040's and the Falken Azeni's on my stock wheels. It spins around 6k on cold pavement and spins on the track as well. I could imagine how bad it would be if I didnt have the LSD.

So...unless you own an RSX and know how it responds to increased torque and hp then I believe YOU need to research. Better yet, go drive a 350whp RSX WITH an LSD and tell me it doesnt have traction issues.

My race vehicle pulls consistant 1.15-1.16 60' and you're telling ME I need to research traction control?
Haha. I would have to go down to around 6psi to make 350 in my Street honda bro. On street tires, my car is trapping 141. Its called boost by gear. First gear 10psi, 2nd gear 18 psi, 3rd gear 24psi, 4th gear 30psi. Boost by gear, traction control, what ever you want to call it. And potenza's, azenis'....LOL. Those tires suck at the track. The azenis tires are road race tires that shouldn't see the drag strip. That is why you spin like crap. Not cause your mad trq y0. Get a better suspension setup and an AVCR and watch your mad spin decrease.
