This is a great link and very helpful for those of us think of putting on a Kleenman. My question is how much tire spin accured and what would happen if they put on some slicks

That is the only porblem. The supercharge produces so much torque that you must really use the throttle judiciously. I have been told that you can spin / smoke the rear tires even with ESP on up to 60mph through 3 gears ...
