My car was the best when I took off my 180 crank pulley and had stock pullies and only headers and throttle body with tune. Stomp on the throttle from a slow roll and get almost no traction control cutting in with my Pilot Super Sports out back (and Quaife LSD), car would just rip all the way to 100. Put a smaller supercharger pulley on and back to traction control cutting power majorly to 50 or 60mph making acceleration from a stop or slow roll considerably worse. Turn the TC off and spin city, pullies are great for cold weather and rolls from 45-50+ or if drag radials are your daily tire. Street tires, forget about it.
You will also like mentioned above control intake air temps so much more not upping the boost where you will maintain power instead of having one run before loss of power in any kind of remotely warm weather and if it is hot out consider your car as fast as a stock one even with a bunch of mods unless you are running methanol injection or a killer chiller. Losing boost is not a problem, lowering boost is a good thing when you gain power while doing so from headers. More flow means less restriction, boost is nothing but restriction, the more restriction the higher your boost and the more heat you create.

Get all the mods you want for the car. Have them installed and the car tuned. Then learn how to control your right foot. The throttle is not a light switch.

URB: Weather isn't too good over here right now but I will have the V back shortly when the weather breaks. I will let you know how it feels and the low dyno numbers for the AWD low numbers dyno! lol

The only time I spin the tires is if I want to

But yes, my first performance mod on my list (if I give in) is an LSD. Actually, headers, tune, LSD...and I'll be very happy.
