I'm sure this has something to do with the car being rear wheel drive.....but I need some help!! Hopefully this is enough info for someone to get me a little advice!! Thanks guys.

Questions are you running ...

1) Rear Toe in Uprights? If not I suggest you get them
2) the black kit servo saver - if so switch to the white high torque, it has a lot less slop
3) lower your EPA on the radio as well as your dual rate a bit
4) EASE into the throttle, if you jam on it you will loop it every time.
5) don't use the brakes.
