this is true and gearing has a lot to do with it.

My NA ve will spin 1,2,part of 3rd if i hit VVL in 1st and take it up to redline.

205 falken azenis on 15x7

I have to roll into it in second to keep traction and that's only 165wtq

I don't know about off topic, but you're correct in your assessment. Be aware though that turbo engines can mimic an N/A torque/power curve if setup properly.

^so its correct to say..some tuners could sandbag their tune in an attempt to have a more readily accessible speed as opposed to the spinning

Have any of you guys tried a bigger wheel/tire?

My favorite combo is a 16x7 wheel/ 215/45/16 Azenis.

For my turbo car (450hp or so) I have tried a friends set of 205/50 Mickey Thompson ET Streets, which gave my car an extra gear over the Azenis.

^Nice torque #'s. Are you on a 2.0L bottom end? From what I have read, even the SR16VE tranny gears are to long for a car built to drag all day. I would love to have a SR16VE tranny with a P11 final driver in my daily driver. That's where it's at right there.

Short gearing FTW.. take a ride in k20 with 6spd and you will love it. Nissan has worst gearing ever..
