Default help please, i want more traction!!

i have a 02 Mustang Gt 5 speed. as of now i have the following mods: BBK shorties, Bassani X-pipe with cats, Borla Cat back, Steeda TriAX, Steeda Subframe connectors, 3.73's, Eaton 31 spline posi, moser 31 spline axles, K&N FIPK, SCT tuned by JMS. my major problem as of now is that when i stomp on the gas, my tires spin for days. i am trying to get some suggestions about traction, whether shocks and struts, new tires, control arms, etc. i kno i need new tires, i have the stock ones on there, and their junk. besides that can anyone reccomend any brands or products so i can keep my tires on the ground?

I would say for you to get some drag springs, and get some Drag radial tires. Look into those.

^Yes I would look into the QA1 shocks/struts... or possibly Lakewood for "serious" drag shocks... check out Summit or Jegs for them
as far as meats... I would go with the MT's (thats what I have on teh way) they are supposed to be crazy STICKY.

as far as the Plenum and TB... I think if you do it all together with CAI, exhaust, etc... yes its worth it.
Which you already have, so yeah I say its worth it.
but of course to those who are just adding that alone... no.

Good LUCK.

thanks for all the help, did you hear any good things about KYB shocks? also are there any brands as far as TB and plenum that are better?
