Default Suspension and Traction Q's

I just bought some upper and lower control arms subframes, and some 245/60/16 nitto 555r's, Before i had some goodyear eagle F1's and no suspension mods. Car was mostly stock except for it came with a ford motorsport longblock with different headers, and hi flow cats, magnaflow exhaust CAI and upped the timing on it. Its a 5 spd, 93 gt. I was having problems getting tractions and taking off the tires now are worn but not all the way to the wear mark on the tires and the car gets absolutly no traction, i have an engine that i built with:

Trickflow twisted wedge heads ported 2.08s, track heat intake, tfs 2 cam, 1.6 rockers, so i know once i put it in a couple of weeks traction is going to be absolutly no existant, my question is with the things i bought should i be alot better off or what else should i get for the car to help with traction. All help is very appreciated thanks

awful big heads for a 302 and most likely you'll have to flycut pistons and is there a power adder with use of such big heads and or a stroker application??

check your other thread.....flycut pistons removes material from valve relief area in order for the valve to have enough clearance as to not smack a piston during valve timing events
