Traction Problems.

Okay guys i need help. I was drag raceing (street) the other weekend. On fairly rough pavement. I spun 1st gear, and the 1st couple seconds of 2nd gear. What should i add? LCA's? Torque Arm? I was happy that i beat a low 14 seconds mustang but yet it scared me having traction problems like that seeing as i only beat him by 1 car link.

Your might wana try my combo out because I get awesome traction even on the worst of roads. The biggest thing was the LCA relocation brackets set on the lowest setting along with my new Goodyear Eagle GS-C 245-50ZR16 tires, all I can say is wow what a difference!
