Default almost track time

well, ill be going to the track on next wednesday and im asking for some help with traction, i know there is stuff out there to research about but i have a spacific question delt with my situation.

im asking for pointers on getting the most traction with my current set up.

91 240sx hatch
ls1 335wtq, m6
275 35 18 cooper tires for then back
12 way adj coils
weight is 2900 w/o me(190)

any suggestions? soften my suspension? stiften?
i heard if i remove my front swap bar that`ll help????

i burn all the way from 1st to the beginning of 3rd if i punch it, so im guessing ill have to ease on it till the end of 2nd or beginning of 3rd.

and a reminder, just stuff that i can do that may help with out costing me anything, besides time lol

Put some REAL tires on it. You'll never be anything other than a showoff otherwise.

well no matter what its gonna cost you time regardless without good tires but w/e. Lower your tire pressure and ease into it...jus play around with that and see if anything changes.
