Default What mods for straight line street performance? Tires/susp advice wanted!!

What is everyone doing for tires, shocks, gears or basically anything that has to do with traction from a dig?

Currently I am running Hoosier drag radials (315 40 17) and stock everything else suspension wise. I am making approximately 550rwhp and want to get better traction from a dig.

Thanks

I wouldn't mess with the gears if your car is forced induction, smaller wheel setup might help a little. When I was having trouble launching my car i realized my cars setup was fine, it was what I was doing. Nothing beats seat time and practice, along with broken parts along the way trying to figure it all out

What's your budget look like? Right off top of my head is some Viking shocks/coil overs, 15in conversion setup, PFadt drag bar, Pfadt trans brace, ECS brace

you auto or manual? If manual I'd switch to a bias ply.

But if your new to the car and of power like slowtealz28 said practice, practice and practice before you spending any money
