I have found that I cannot get traction in 1st gear anymore. If I punch it from a roll it breaks loose and there is terrible torque steer. If I punch it out of a corner forget about it. From a launch is not so bad as long as I take it easy. I am putting down about 176 HP to the wheels and 160 TQ to the wheels. I noticed it became worse when I installed an aftermarket Y-Pipe.

Any suggestions and what do you guys do to deal with this. I do love the extra power on the highway though...
