I would start w/ some control arms and some sticky tires. Hell, I would start w/ sticky tires and see where that gets you.

lowers, sticky tires, and 50/50's will give you 1.6 sixties all day long.... and the ability to lift the tires over 6" if you had 4.10 gears

but you don't.... the 3.08's are hurting you bad, you need more throttle to move you, but more throttle gives more tire spin.

contrary to popular belief... low launch on 4.10's and feathering will yield better sixties than stock or 3.55 even on street tires

but like said b4....... a sticky tire goes a looooooooooooooooooong way

well said if you could only get most people to believe this. also when the 3.08s get spinning it is very hard to get them to recover due to the tire speed that you are seeing. and if they do recover you get this thing called bog.

some nice control arms maybe even lift bars for the lowers. shocks springs and sticky tires and +1 for mt et streets. o and once you get the control arms you can throw away your quad shocks.
