Higher power levels mean that your first gear or two end very quickly so you have to shift much sooner, and the potential to break the tires loose is a lot greater. I've driven some boosted or v8 swapped cars that originally came NA with really high rear end ratios where this happens, and it can be quite annoying. The usual fix is swapping in a diff with a lower ratio.
