Dragstrip traction?
Dragstrip traction? I am using my 99 Z28 A4 as a dd as well as racing it in the street class. It is mostly stock with a lid, fast toys ram, air, 160 thermo and is on street tires. Without changing tires what is my best bet to improve traction? I actually haven't raced this car yet. My old car had 2.73's this one has 3.23's. My old car had no traction problems but I'm thinking this one might. What suspensions mods would you recomend. I was thinking a set of lower control arms, relocation brackets and new torque arm. Am I on the right track? Do I need anything else? I don't want to get to exotic with such little power.
thanks in advance

sfc are not really needed that much especially in a street class like you are in and are not wanting to change tires. bud you are definately on the right track with all that you have listed. i think the torque arm will net you the most difference in 60 ft. then i would do the lower control arms and then possibly the relocation brackets.
