can't peel out, have a question
Last night I took my car out the highway to see what it could do.
Right away I floored it and it wouldn't even peel out!
I had my ect in power mode and my traction control off. I also have a dragon torque converter installed so I was almost sure it would peel out easily.
The question I have:
I was searching and see a post about cleaning the ignition coil off to get a better connection. I don't know whole lot about cars so sorry if this is a dumb question.
Where is the ignition coil? Im not even sure what it is..
Will I be able to take this out myself to clean it?
Can anyone take a pic of where it is and what it looks like for me, or maybe a description?
Thanks,
Will

How long ago did you do the TC? If you just did it then your ECU has to learn your new setup. I have a dragon with a 3000-3200 stall and I have no problem peeling out(18" rims). If you just did the converter, see what happens after a 100 miles or so. And No I dont have to load the converter to spin the tires. Let off the brake and floor it!

Bumpin this old thread. I bought an escalade and just through the sc in the garage since I got so sick of it. Well I finally got it back out the other day, I used it to go on a trip (better gas milage) and I still can't freakin peel out. Ive put almost 2,500 miles on it. I'm going to try cleaning the ignition coil off ( I seen that in another post today).
Oh and btw, no I can't do a brake stand. It just revs up, but doesn't peel out.
Everything else on the car seams fine, I was on a long stretch road and got it up to 140mph for a few minutes. Had no problems at all.
