Default My mod predicament?

I'm in a bind.. I love going to the track, but at the present time it's pointless because I just smoke the street tires and pull 2.2-2.3 60' times.

I'm also itching to install my cam, but that would only make traction issues worse.

I'm not rich so I have to save for my mods one at a time. Also since I live in Hawaii shipping is a bitch. I'm sure this is a common sense question, but which first..

Stick tires.. 26x10.5x16 ET Streets

Buy components to complete cam install?

Well the problem with sticky tires will be your stock 10 bolt will be a time bomb I'm in the same boat as you I easily overcome my stock tires. I think I'm going to go with the performance mods first then add a 9" rear and stick tires

If you have 3.42 gears and don't have serious power the 10 bolt will hold.

Yeah, just don't launch your car at 4000 rpms
