No squeal, so therefore you never know when they are ready to break loose until it's too late and you start sliding across the track... Surprise !!!

PS: I think I have the ECU ESP thing worked out... Stewart from SDS racing is going to take my ECU and try to do the mods to turn off the traction control and tune the car for full race spec. I'll keep you posted. Also, the owner of Metric Motors has given me an AMG long block to see if I can build it into my car with the current electronics... If it works, I have to purchase it for $8,000 (GULP)... He gave me the specs. and it turns out that your car has light weight pistons, different cams, larger oil pump, etc... He believes I can replace the engine internals with the AMG version of the engine and still keep it naturally aspirated with slight tweaks to the computer, so I could stay in TTD class without the tech inspectors knowing that I have a different (higher HP) engine...
8 grand just for that stuff? wow, i would think you could get a set of some aggresive custom cams for that much... maybe not, how much hp are you looking at after that. can't wait to join you guys next season.
