I'm really not sure what section to post this in - I have a 2.5 V6 5 speed front wheel drive,I seem to do OK on the straight aways but the corners are giving me trouble. I am running in 3rd gear on a .4 mile track, I dive into the turn braking a little then get back on the gas and the car seems to bog down. I have tried shifting to 2nd but that's not working because my RPM's are too high. Does anyone know of something I can do to help correct this? I am in a UCar class so the car needs to remain stock. I can't go into the engine or tranny. Will tire or rim size make a difference with the RPM's in the corners?
Thanks for any help -

Down sizing the tire should help with your RPMs in the turns. It will also increase the straight RPMs.
