Best Traction upgrades for $$$

I have an 86 Iroc and I think I am going to have major traction problems once I get an ATI Procharger. What is the best mod to do for traction. I have big suspension mods in the future but right now I am kind of short on funds. So what would be the best traction helper for the money??

What about those Lakewood Traction Action bars they sell in JEGS for 82-98 camaros and firebirds??? Any good?? Do they replace your control arms or what?? They're kind of weird looking?

Thanks for any help

Lower control arm relocation brackets, like the ones spohn sells, they are cheap like 65 bucks, and they make a huge diffrence, after that, a torque arm, that will make a big diffrence.

You can box your stock suspension pieces as well and add poly bushings to help a lot while you're at it. It's cheap and reduces a lot of flex.

Not really related to what you were asking but i have a question for you. How are you going to get a procharger on a '86 setup they are meant for Serpentine setups not V-belts setups. I could be completely wrong but i think the Procharger is for 88+ Serpentine systems.
