with traction issues

**clg82** · 07-10-2008, 02:13 PM

I want to know what i can do to get better traction at the track as well as while i'm street racing (light to light).. I am about to get some 3.73's installed and I have heard that i will lose quite a bit of traction. I have 18 rims in the rear and 17 in the front so i think lowering it is out of the question. What other aftermarket parts can i buy that i can install will help me achieve better traction?

315s, also tourque arms will help you get more hp to the ground

UMI Performance-any of our sponsors carry them.
I had one. About 200$ or so + s/h. Very easy to do so. Just unbolt/rebolt. Can probbaly do it with just a car jack but i wouldn't ever trust that when wrenching under the car.

Consider some boxed lower control arms too. [about 150±] also easy to instal

Subframe Connectors weld in or bolt on then weld them later.

what kind of a torque arm you suggest? adjustable or non adjustable and what is the difference?

Well Adjustables are for cutomizable set ups, IMO I would go with a non adjustable, something better than stock without the complications.

Give Sam Strano a call he'll get you on the right direction.
