im sorry but at 165 torque at the wheels on a 3k plus pound car with an auto tranny i dont think you will be having traction problems with the sds. i used to drive a galant 4g64 and i know how incredibly weak first gear is. what i would want is a system that gives power in the entire powerband, not just at the top end. my current car has low end torque and believe me its a very nice thing to have. and the top end kills to. btw my wheel numbers are very similar to those of a 4g64 sds'ed car and i have a good manual tranny and awd. so i have experienced both ends of the spectrum with the galant and the a4.
