Default I DONT want to catch 2nd with my auto...

ok so I bought a stock 03 mustang GT and at WOT it HIT 2nd good and hard and I liked it. Then I put on bolt ons, including 3.73 gears.

Now at WOT I get that chirp and a backend quick sideways movement.

I bought brand new dunlopDirezzas dz101 wider than stock tires and that didnt help at all. I bought upgraded upper and lower control arms and that didnt help.

Sowhat else can I do at this point to NOT catch 2nd? Or atleast cut down on it so I dont get the backend sideways movement? Thank You

better suspension... UPR makes a nice kit, as well as Steeda. Some u/l control arms, nice shocks/springs... adjustable control armsas well- be sure of that... and also up front adjustable coil overs (QA1 is nice but pricey).... Or either just leave like it is...if you dont plan on racing it --- that much-- and just buy some M/T drag radials.

BTW- convertible or HT>>??

I have upgradedupper and lower control arms, but the stock shocks/springs, maybe I should upgrade those, but I dont want to lose too much ride comfort, so I dont know which set I should go with.

oh and it is a HT...here is a pic or 2...
