The thing that keeps f-bodies from getting traction is the stock stamped steel parts. When I first put in my adj panhard bar it fixed everything. Lower control arm and shocks help too

I have a set of red BMR lcas for sale for $80 + shipping, pm me if you're interested. You also need an aftermarket torque arm.

if its lowered... lca relocation brackets are a must for proper suspension geometry.

Pretty sure the only thing traction bars do is eliminate wheel-hop on cars with leaf spring suspensions.

What brand of drag radials are you running? I've got BFG's and I can spin the **** out of them-- my car probably isn't even making 300rwhp.

I've also got an old set of Hoosiers on a different set of wheels that almost dead-hook. Last time I launched on those, my differential started singin' and it wasn't long till I needed a new set of gears and bearings.

If you've already got Hoosiers or Mickeys, try upgrading your suspension.

Start with cheaper stuff first-- relo brackets, subframe braces, rear LCA's. Then eventually get shocks, springs, and a torque arm.
