Traction mods

Other than the torque dampener and better tires ( I plan on going with the BFG KDW2's)....what are the best traction mods to improve my 60' time. My first time at the track I ran a 2.6 60' (I know....dreadful), my second time I got it to a 2.3. I really need some help down low.


as a side note...I just realized that my two trips to the track, I gained more in the 60' than i did in the 1/4. very odd.... i guess I need the cooling mods installed badly. 3/10 in the 60' and 2/10 in the 1/4 :WTF:

The traction bars work well, but, in some situation I still get some wheel hop. Granted it's a lot more mild than with out them.

tranny mounts and drag bags. Control arm bushings work good but fall apart in months

i just put on nitto nt555 extreme zr 235/40/18 and they're alot stickier than the bfg kdw2 i had. in all fairness the bfg's were 225/40/18. but i went from half throttle in first gear to actually being able to roll all the way to full throttle in first gear.
