In the next few months, i am going to be adding some serious horses to my car.
Went and talked to the guys down at balance performance in suwanne about it, and they brought up something i haven't really realized until now.
After i hit about 350 whp, i am going to have some traction problems, whats the best way to solve this.

Thanks for any advice you may have

Stiffer suspension, traction bars, tires, LSD .. there are a lot of things that can help w/ traction

I would find someone else besides balanced performance to do your work. You WILL pay for a half a$$ job that you could do and it will take them at least 6 months to get a good tune in for your car.

Please consider another performance shop they are slightly remedial... Personal expierence and ive heard the same form other people.

Oh, were talking HONDA... Well you should be fine in the traction dept cause with 350whp you will have just over 100ftlbs at the tires.. No worry my friend! :D :taun: :lmfao:

traction bars, drag coilovers, lsd, boost by gear if you have s300 or rtp, all those make the most sense to me
