The thing that keeps f-bodies from getting traction is the stock stamped steel parts. When I first put in my adj panhard bar it fixed everything. Lower control arm and shocks help too

Pretty sure the only thing traction bars do is eliminate wheel-hop on cars with leaf spring suspensions.
What brand of drag radials are you running? I've got BFG's and I can spin the **** out of them-- my car probably isn't even making 300rwhp.
I've also got an old set of Hoosiers on a different set of wheels that almost dead-hook. Last time I launched on those, my differential started singin' and it wasn't long till I needed a new set of gears and bearings.
If you've already got Hoosiers or Mickeys, try upgrading your suspension.
Start with cheaper stuff first-- relo brackets, subframe braces, rear LCA's. Then eventually get shocks, springs, and a torque arm.
