Not sure if this would be better suited in the wheel and tire thread, but we'll start here. I dune primarily. Car sees like 80/20 dunes/trails. 17 xp4t. Pump gas flash, supposed to be about 25+whp. Filter, intake tube, charge pipe, exhaust. SLP sand clutch kit. Currently running tribute fronts and blaster 2's on dwt ultimates. There's a hill at our local dunes I've pulled several times before most of the mods with no issue. Same paddles and just the exhaust. After adding the rest of the mods I pulled the same hill and really struggled. Car will hold 8600~rpm the whole way but I lose a ton of speed by 3/4. It really feels like I'm just spinning the tires and getting no grip. Paddles are not comp cut. Is it sounding like I'm under paddled for the current power level? Could it be something else? Thinking about doing a big wheel on the turbo and a bigger tune. Typing to decide if I need to start looking into like a 1300 setup. Car isn't a whole lot more than factory weight. Cage and stereo is about it. Thanks for the input.
