Default Chatter under hard acceleration

Hey guys, i have a 94 Z28. recently whenever i hit it hard in 1st or 2nd the rear end fels like its hoping or chatering and not spining the tires. same if i try to launch. This could be related but often when im crusing ill hit it and the engine wil rev up and sound like its working but the car wont pull, and then it wil kick it. It sems to me like its a driveline problem. someone help! has stock rear-end and gears.

should have done some more research earlier. sems like i ned some new LCA's car has about 130k on the body. anyone sugest a good set for 94 z28, stock height. also can anoyone explain why the car wouldnt pull hard under acceleration on certain times and then kick in? Electric maybe. im planning on a dyno tune within the month to get a baseline and fig out how the motor is runing.

Let's take the problems one at a time. First on the hopping - LCAs are a good bet. If the car is lowered you want to get the LCA relocation brackets. BMR, Spohn, UMI (and others I'm sure I am missing) offer quality solutions so have a look.

On the acceleration, it sounds like a slipping clutch but you would smell that so it could be a misfire, MAF, etc. issue. I might start my cleaning the MAF, and make sure the plugs and wires are good.
