I need traction!!!!!
I need traction!!!!! Alright guys,I need help!I'm still new to this stuff but now I'm gettin in deeper.My mods are below but I have no traction at the starting line.What are some of the immediate upgrades that I can do.My car will always be around 3400-3500+ lbs because I don't want to modify it too much.I'm going to order SFC's tommorrow and I thought I'd go ahead and order ET Streets(more rubber can only help).Any suggestions besides the SFC's would be greatly appreciated!!!!

Oh, how the food chain loves more power at the engine, it means they get shiny new parts down stream to take care of the power!
With the HP you will be pumping, stuff as big a drag radial as you can under it and be easy on it coming out of the hole and the tranny and 10 bolt should hold up - for awhile

you not going to want to much traction with that 10 bolt 
as mention radials and torque arm, save up for a nice rear end after that, then go with slicks

I would recomend removing the sway bar. I pulled 1.6 60' with close to 400rwhp on MT Drag radials and a completel stock suspension. Also remember that track prep helps a lot. Figured you might want to take a look @ these tires also.

one of the first mods to be done is ditching the front sway bar. including the mounts and end links, i think mine came to 20lbs off the nose, plus it produces quicker rise in the front which puts more weight on the rear. you will see a difference immediately. pull out on some deserted road or parking lot, and punch it. you don't even have to stay in it. just enough to see the front end rise a few more inches and you'll be grinnin' ear to ear if you're anything like me the first time i found out about that. and on top of that, i never noticed a difference around town or on the highway. i've never had a front swaybar on since!
and ET Streets are WAY better than Nitto's. i've had both, and the first time i hit the track with the ET's, i dropped the steering wheel on my lap when i launched! (it untilted itself)! LOL. and every time i forgot NOT to put my hand at 12 O'clock, it would do it. lots of bite. but beware, that 10 bolt better have a big brother standing by after you do your H/C pkg.! good luck.
