Can't hook up

After the blower install, I can't get any traction if I mash the accelerator. I hear caltracs are a good place to start, but are they the only option for hooking up a little better? Besides slicks of course.

on street tires I doubt that even caltracs are going to help too much. You need slicks, start there and THEN look for suspension tweaks.

Exactly.. I am running cal tracs, they did basically nothing on the street for traction, esp on street tires..

I also have cal tracs and didt help on the street for traction but got rid of the wheel hop.

good point! I just assumed. Get a solid LSD in there before you do anything else, then the widest tires you can squeeze for the street.
