I dont know about your S2k but when I poweshift 1st to 2nd in mine the rear tires spin quite a bit and the rear starts to slide out a bit. It snaps right back once the LSD kicks in hard. It is kinda cool seeing smoke come up in second gear. Good for showing off. I still say backing off the RPMs a bit helps more. Not much but a bit. I was messing around with this some this morning and I think nailing it to 9k then backing off to about 8500-8700 during the shift helps the tire spin in second issue a lot. Some cars may act differently.
