Im looking for something to hook really good on the street.I already have tokico 5 ways and i was looking at traction/lift bars would this benifit me?Or should i go control arms?
My car still spins some on slicks and i know this stock suspension isnt for these slicks.
I need some opinions.BTW this is my everday driver i dont care about cornering.Thanks Mike

Well my mods are pro 50 4:10's BBK cai 75mm mass air and a 125 shot.I squeeze out of the hole.I think if i had better suspenion it would hook better.

I squezed out of the hole with reg Bfg's and got the best of 1.84 60ft. I have the tokicos 5 ways, south side lowers and motorsport uppers, I have a tired 302 with a 125ish shot of nos and an aod w/373's. The ride is cool and comfortable.

liftbars might be a bit better but is it a strictly drag car?if so You could also get drag shocks up front and in the rear along with drag springsto transfer tthe weight better. Could you fit a wider tire?

you can't use slapper bars, those are for leaf springs only and they are old school technology at that.
Sawson, i think he's talking about spinning on the street. Not very hard to do with slicks.

low low air pressure and like a 1 minute burnout in 2cd gear and u will hook...
