All that stuff you listed has very little to do with traction. What kind and what size of tires are you running?

All of the above helps, but I stuck my Z28 in the low 13's/1.96 60' w/ 3.42's in an open rearend (one tire pulling)with a pair of (well one, really) M/T ET Streets. Now I have 4.10's, 4000 convertor and a spool, and I recently beat a friend's stang on the street that runs 12.50's, so I can't wait to put it on the clock. Sticky tires are the way to go.JMHO
