Default Need Help! No traction at ALL

Ever since my cam and new rear-end install with the 4.10's I can not get any traction at the track at all. My best 60 ft. has been 1.89 and that was with the stock 3.42's and no cam. Any help or tips on what to do at the track would be very helpful. THANKS!

Go the the susp. section and there is a lot of info there. Is your susp stock right now? if so thats why your not hooking up to well. Also if you are not on atleast a DR there is another prob. Like I said go the the susp. section and read up. here is a short list

Qa1s R series up front with 275lb springs will help with weight transfer dramaticaly
Qa1s reg 12 ways out back with stock springs or what ever springs you have will plant you back tires to the pavement
ADJ Torque arm Set your pinion angle properly
Adj Lower Control arms lighter will not flex and center wheels in wheel wells
Adj Panhard bar to center the rearend

Are you a auto or 6spd?
