That is insane! What mods are next to be able to effectively get all that power to the road?

The car already has a Wavetrac LSD and 265/35/18 very sticky 100 treadwear Nankang AR-1 rear tires, so traction is probably as good as its going to get for a F22. My next suspension mods are going to be Powerflex rear subframe bushing inserts and Dinan springs with the supplemental ride kit. They should help improve the stability at the rear under hard acceleration. I'm also considering camber plates and SPL rear traction arms.

I know that its a mild suspension upgrade but i want to retain reasonable ride comfort as well as improved handling, while preserving the factory EDC.

I just ordered up my Wavetrac from Harold, thanks in small part to your video.

Love your M2 CS-style wheels.

I think you will be very happy with it. I had zero wheelspin when I was on a stock turbo HPFP ethanol tune.

Would you say to get an LSD before going upgraded turbo for an AWD m240?

I checked them out on Diffsonline, the wavetrack runs around 3.5k give or take, which is close to good turbo prices,

In most driving conditions AWD will be able to handle the additional power from the turbo without a LSD. A LSD would help if you are drag racing, trying to get the very best Draggy times or doing very hard launches.

Well I guess that answers my question, this will be a Dig/roll racing car, I'll probably end up putting it on a bit after I do my turbo

I like it and good to know those are some suspension options. I'm putting some 265-35-18's Michelin Pilot Sport 4s on the rears next week. Chose new wheels and tires this year instead of an LSD. That could be next depending on how much power I get out of my stock turbo with the Jb4. I'm not only trying to improve straight line traction but also increase stability in and out of corners. These cars in RWD are sloppy in my opinion.
