Default New setup=can't hook

I just recently installed a Fab 9 inch, adjustable lowers, panhard, short tq. arm, and relocation brackets. This is a 99 camaro heads, cam, nitrous car. Last year on all stock suspension I was pulling consistent 1.5's and a best 1.49 60 ft. hooking hard. Since the new install I have yet to make a pass without wheel hop or spinning bad, I am very new to susp. tuning and looking for a good place to start. I am also running 275-50-15 mickey drag radials and stock shocks. Should I try a set of slicks and or some adjustable shocks? Which would be a better option as I can't buy it all at once? I think I may have something wrong in the setup. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

try moving the LCA to a different position on the brackets, friend of mine had this problem, is your car lowered? If so put the lca on the lowest hole, shocks would be deff a plus

You can make the car hook with drag radials no need to go to a slick. An adjustable shock would help out. If you can give us a call and we can help you get your setup working properly. Our tech dept is in the office till 6pm est mon-fri.
