are you sure you've got AWD? My passenger side front tire lit up on me at the strip when my solenoid C was bad (still have the melted rubber on the rim face). Your torque steer might be tied to the fact that you probably have a bad driver's side front axle (clicking sound). Is the Level 10 PTS hydrosystem just an improved valvebody? -Bill

It feels like the rear tires initially catch since the tires do stop spinning but maybe it is the heavy front that actually catches. I know the AWD did not work on the dyno the last two times I tried so maybe it is shot.
Yes

FWD's should have higher trap speeds. My 13.9 was clocked at 96 I believe and my 14.5 n/a run was also high 95's. You should be in this area and I am surprised to see otherwise.

i agree
...and a taller tire would take care of traction w/ fwd, making it the fastest NA car. hypothetically you could put "BFG Drag Radial 2" 255/50r16 for $150ea. on the stock rims and 215/60VR16 on the back, but also on the front when not at the track. no more fender gap and superior wet and snow traction with long treadwear and a comfortable ride, not to mention a higher top speed. someone with a 4.44 auto FWD and toms upgrades could see 100 mph trap speeds.
