What next?
I'm running out of bolt-on mods. I'm going to be buying some softer rear shocks and BFG DRs next paycheck, but other than that, what should I do next? SFCs? LT headers?
I'd like a full bolt-on car before I do an LE2 H/C package.

You can't even make the front of the car move if you put your weight on the fender and try to compress it and bounce it. The rear is almost as bad. All I know is that I have SEVERE traction issues in 1st and 2nd. I can just lay into the throttle in 2nd at 40mph and the car will spin until almost the top of the gear. I guess maybe it just might be a tire issue -- I have Kumho Ecstas with about 6/32s left on them.
kumho's are a decent tire, i have them. but it comes down to side wall, low pros are going to have trouble finding good traction.
