What suspension is in your VQ? Stiffening up the rear will help you get the tyres spinning Thanks, my VL made 250rwkw on 6psi

Not an easy fix lol cost lot of money from here. got every thing in the car now just need an manifold that should get me to 250rwkw then maybe a blower but 3g for manifold its cheap and still prob will not spin. maybe ill take the lsd out put single in that will make it spin lol.
