Default Stop the spinning................

Well I'm definately not new to the Fbody world. Had a few and know what's out there for aftermarket parts. My new SS (410s, lid, offroad y, totl catback, spec stage 3 w/ aluminum flywheel) doesn't hook worth a damn. What has worked best for you guys, I don't expect to be pulling 1.6 times on my 17 inch wheels nor do i even want to, but what has worked best for you guys?

Thought about a torque arm, but know guys running stock ones that hook good. Don't wanna spend 400$ if i can save that for something else.

How much suspension stuff do you have already? Have LCAs?

I would look into getting some SFC's (subframe connectors) from BMR, Spoon, UMI or SLP, etc.

Definately LCA's. I noticed an immediate difference. Also look into a panhard rod.

What kind of tires are you running? If you are running anything less than a drag radial you can expect wheelspin.

suspension is basically bonestock... LCAs made that big of a difference huh?

I got Subframes but just haven't welded them on yet.

Tires make a big difference over stock. Buy or borrow a set of drag radials and try it out.

Tires man. I just went through the same thing as you. Im in the process of buying a second set of wheels and putting M/T radials on it for fun and just regular tires for everything else.
