Better tires?
Wider tires?
What tires you running now?
The stock BFGs
or the Pirellis?
You seem to need a T-Loc rear end
or some LCAs and relocation brackets.

just dont drop the clutch at such a high rpm. i mean yeah youre gonna get some slippage with any tires (i have aftermarket 20's and BFG KDWS) but your always gonna get slip with a manual. just dont dump the clutch as high and pay attention to your RPMS (and the road) around corners. yeah, new tires will help as well as other things, but so will being a better driver (not saying youre not a good driver, but everyone can work on something and managing your rpms better will give you less slippage). and you wana turn TC off if you plan on spinning them, otherwise your brakes are gonna burn out pretty quick. 157 DB is right though, t-lok and LCA's should help.
