Not bad dude, not bad. Get some slicks and some lowercontrol arms, maybe some Lakewood 70/30's or 90/10's and some 4 banger springs up front, If you could get that car to hook really nicely, it would drop your ET like crazy.

Remember, spinning aint winning.
i was thing of some lakewood 90/10 up front and some 50/50 for the back. then better upper and lower control arms.

Thats the plan i think anyone on here would go after, i would definatly do something to the chassis before i added anymore power. Because you add any more power your really going to start having a hard time hooking up.

Definatly do some Lower Control arms, that will cure most of your traction issues, the Maximum Motorsports LCA's are nice, Megabite Jrs are really nice, not to exsensive either compared to other peoples stuff. They also have 3 traction settings, i have mine set on the 130% setting i think thats what its called. I may be off on my percentages a little.

But definatly invest in some good Mickey THompson E/T slicks also.
