Default What Kinda Setup will it take to hook 400+HP on the street...

Having some problems getting good traction on the street. So Im wondering.. What does it take to hook 400+ HP and a pretty good hitting stall on the street. My car is going to live at the track this summer when it gets warmed up and its going to see plenty of weekend street races, so what Im wanting to know is, what kind of setup will it take for me to at least make something out of 1st gear on the street <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Also Ive ran nittos and BFGs and both blow away. Sometimes they will kind of hook if I walk the converter into it but thats it..

All help is appreciated...

Slick it up and buy a bottle of VHT.

What works best for me is to soften up the rear suspension from what I run at the track. I can just about flat stab it on hot nittos even with my big converter. I soften my rear hals down to about RR-6, LR-4 to get the added weight transfer.
I didn't see a mod list so I'm not sure if that will help you or not...
