Default OKdid the PI head swap now what about traction

Ok over the winter we installed a set of PI heads that I picked up off ebay. Did a valve job and port matched the heads to the intake. Installed BBK shorties ( yea I heard that they dont help) Today we installed a BBK cold air package and BBK X pipe. So what do we do for traction. Massive inprovement in power. This is an auto car and it just want to go sideways. Supercharger is next project and we dont hook now.

look into some rear control arms, and if you're replacing the uppers go ahead and get adjustable ones so you can adjust your pinion angle (i see in your sig that the car is lowered 2 inches). what kind of tires are you running? if you're running some hard rubber then that may be part of your problem. if you're going to supercharge it, and it's in the budget, you may look into getting some wider wheels/tires in the rear. i've got some traction issues and i'm planning on some rear suspension work and then 315 rear tires to help get the power to the pavement.
