What should i do 2 keep TRACTION?
 
I have a 05 6 sport with the 3.0 v6 and i cant keep traction. these are the mods i have done already is a catback exhaust system, AEM cold air intake and a stage 3 clutchmaster clutch. soon i will be installing a unorthodox crank pulley and a unichip piddyback in it. so what do i do 2 keep TRACTION?

Either get stickier tires or let off the gas.

You pretty much just need to learn how to launch your vehicle by practicing, find out what the best launch RPM is, and find out when you can finally get on it all the way.

yea i know. i am getting better at the launch. but it is when im shifting is when i am loseing traction. i just put on new Kumho Ecsta ASX on and i still having problems.

the ecsta asx is an all season tire.. Get yourself some goodyear eagle f1 gs-d3 tires they are some pretty damn good summer tires. Ofcourse consider this option when you need to change tires again dont just throw your new ones out wear them in nicely :) if you know wut i mean lol.

agreed, don't espect great traction from an all season while driving aggressive. and if you are spinning while shifting....it's pretty damn aggressive. even an option like a kumho MX that is cheap and avaialble in a billion sizes would be great depending on what conditions you drive in.

outside of that. you can talk to Donny over at RPM and see how his phantom grip lsd is working out. been a good 6-8 months or so on his V6, see if he thinks it's worth the money? expensive install though, but his initial reactions were very positive, just haven't heard anything on it's longevity.

first, you need a set of stiff motor mounts for the launch. these will reduce the engine lash (wheel hop) when you dump the clutch. then, as mr tea said, a good LSD to keep the tires spinning in unison. after that, you could work your way down to struts and springs then lighten up the drivetrain a little with some billet.
