Default traction need help...

I just finished my motor and now i need some traction mods. Im also getting my 4.10's installed for my birthday on the 31st. I think you guys can see the problem with having close to 300 rwhp 4.10's no suspention mods and only 17 245's all the way around. Right now if i floor it in 1st i break loose from around 2,000 all the way up to the rev limiter. im looking to run at englishtown in the spring since i live about 2 minutes away.

I know probably the first thing i should get is tires but i dont wanna spend over 1,000 on tires and rims right now until i need them...

So basically im looking for suspention mods. What are the first mods i should be looking at as far as suspention goes?

thanks...

Tires are the HEART of your suspenshion but if you dont want to go that way do this:

Lower and upper control arms from a good company: Maximum Motor sports, Steeda, ect. if you can drop a little more get a phanard bar as well. all of that should tide you over for a god long while. If you don't have Subframes yet, invest in those too.

I would look into some full length subframe connectors, lower control arms from UPR, strange 10-way adjustable shocks, and some nice drag radials (Nitto 555r if you drive the car a lot, BFG drag radials if you drive some, and M/T drag radials if it isn't going to see rain or a lot of street time)
