wheels and practicing how to launch. If you drop the clutch you will spin no matter how much rwhp you've got.even a little slower start is better than spinning your wheels and getting no where

I run Nittro drag radials 275/40/17 they will still spin but you have enough traction so you won't lose complete control. Beforegeeting the Nittro'sI had BFG 255/55/17 they were dangerous !

ADJUSTABLE LCA
ADJUSTABLE UCA
LCA RELOCATION BRACKETS
PANHARD BAR
PANHARD BRACE

I put on Boxed subfame conectors as well... Getting lowered on thursday...

The lower control arms w/ the relocation brackets is critical... when those are set up right, they push the wheels down into the pavement on acceleration therefore ya have more weight and downforce to get the rubber to bite...the panhard keeps the rear end straight...and pushing forward, and not side to side...

and a good set of wide rubber....really it becomes an issue of being able to drive it...learn how much she can take before the wheels break loose... Also, longer gears... 3.55's are pretty good (for me) on the street..
