Get a StaSIS Engineering 4:1 center differential instead. Anything else makes no sense.

Stock 2.8QM. Throw the car around a little and they'll slip.

I could make my bald 205s slip a little. I even barked the tires one time on take off (this is terrible I know, I wasn't used to the car yet. I coulnd't believe my clutch didn't slip before the tires though). Now with my new 225/50R16 Fuzion ZRIs there is no wheelspin whatsoever. I've had a bark here and there but nothing significant.

It has some el cheapo special tires, that's why. But they usually keep decent traction.

I can still do 40-45 around some 25 mph turns with em with no squeeling and nuetral handling. If I throw it around the corner the rears will get some spinnage and the front pulls it through so there isn't a huge amount of traction issues. I dumped the clutch once (only once) just to see if I could get all four to spin...i chirped em.

they're pretty shitty. And 80 more HP should be able to loose traction if you try, especially if you throw it into a turn. Any suspension mods? That will make a difference also.

they all do the exact same thing.

The only thing you would really look for when buying is the controls range, and the options you want. IE, do you want the control to be able to roll up your windows, lock your doors, set the alarm off, etc.

check ebay I see them on there CHEAP. I am also suggesting have it installed, unless your good at making nice clean looking wire harnesses.
