Love my new Falken Azenis RT615's...gripps and handles around corners like a tuner and slick enough for a drag race...A little pricey but it was worth every penny

yea controle arms and a good set of tires will do the job. i got some upr controle arms for 200$ off of www.uprproducts.com and get a set or BF drag radials....or nittos but i have herd that BF are better

after im rollin in first gear i can flore it and not even spin...just chirps the tires an little...i have 373s tho...not quite as harsh as your 410s but would still help a lot

if it was a drivers race, meaning you didnt pull on him even when you had traction.. he probably didnt have stock gears.

hes got full exhaust, weight reduction, a chip and gears and i assume other small bolt-ons.. raced a car with ..lets say the same except gears... no whoever you raced had motor work or gears.. 4.10's will spin through first and some of second (wont spin that much if you know how to drive with the 4.10's try a clutch drop at 1500 rpm's) youd pull on him like a hooker giving a handjob. yes traction would improve your acceleration, but the 4.10's would have kept you in your powerband longer than him, meaning you should have reeeeeled him in.
