That torque steer is a bit odd. I'm running more boost, more power, and the same all-wheel drive setup and mine doesn't come anywhere near yanking all over the road like that. Something isn't right. If fact, all the Radix Escalades/Denalis that probably have more power off the line don't even do it anywhere near that bad! Either the suspension is messed up or he's fudging a bit on the steering wheel!

there is no way WEEDO that you are making 5 pounds of boost at launch. Thats why the truck is doing that. I don't think any charger on the market makes 5 pounds that low. Shiot we got a 3200 stall in our lade, and we are comming close to making 5 pounds. But we are running more than 7 pounds of boost. I agree on the feeling it torque steers a little more than it should. In the video of it leaving the line and the camara is inside the truck his hands don't move at all.

"I guess it would torque steer with the steering wheel turned at the start.It looks like a nice package for a Escalade with the Bling bling wheels and soft ride.Just don't mess with any black Tahoes with Tennesse tags"
Tennesse is a lil far, but I'll bolt the 20's back on and give yeah a run.

I'm game to race a Turbo Escalade that might be the first race I've ever had a weight advantage in.I don't have a torquesteer problem but you might see a little daylight under my front tires when I launch on drag radials.

You'd better crank up the boost if you are going to hang with my Tahoe it probably weighs 800lbs or more less than your Escalade.

It's called chronic wheel crank trying to get loose with AWD syndrome ... it affects even the best of us ...

Did anyone else notice that you could see the outside of BOTH front wheels at the same time from the front when he launched. Talk about tow-in when the front end raises. Now I see why F8L and those guys say to lower the front end at the track so the tie rods are level. With all that tow-in I could see how it would have all that funny torque steer.

So "J Dubb"; you're saying this video of the Turbo "slade" is launching at 5psi?

As far as the chronic wheel crank... LOL! Yep, I tried it. Brake torque.... turn wheel slightly.... let off brakes... WALLA! I have torque steer, I'm all over the road!!

Check with all the others out there running that much or more boost out of the hole, none of them have that issue. That's just silly...
