Default Need Traction BAd

I need to know what I can do to the suspension to get traction.
I went to the track tonight and was spinning
I am running 26x10-15 hoosiers
boxed LCA's
my 60 foot times were in the 1.80's
They would be in the 160's easy I think if I could get traction.

I think next on the search for traction journey is a set of drag shocks. Hals do a good job, especially the fronts, but if you're after the ultimate in adjustablity a set of DA Afco drag shocks is where its at, but the Afco's make the Hals look inexpensive <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Another part that's going to help is a rear drag sway bar. Wolfe and Billingsley bars for the really hardcore, the next step closer to normal <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> is the BMR extreme bar(I'll be using this one) Both should help plant both tires evenly

Do you have an A4 or M6, N/A or Power adder, heads/cam or Stock internals, 346 or Big bore/stroker? Give my more info about your setup

You have the front sway bar removed?
