What power level does traction become an issue?

I’m on a ZFG E50 tune and really thinking about tossing in the wallet for the $12-15k turbos/fueling/ etc. I’m on stock rubber and unless it is is really cold or wet, I don’t really spin unless it is a hard launch but from a 20mph roll, it isn’t an issue.

When are people seeing traction become an issue. My last mustang didn’t get full traction until around 80 or so.

That will differ by case. Suspension, tires, tune, weight etc will all be factors.
I barely spin, if at all. That's with running 93 DMS tune, IC, DP's, CAI, Stage 5 CRP Turbos etc.
Might attest some of that to the fact that I have 300lbs of equipment on board and sticky tires.
It's my guess that you can always counter HP with anti spin tactics. It helps that these STs are intelligent 4 wheel drive.
