some better tires, caltrac bars, more driving/less punch and steer. Traction bars help with wheel hop more than anything else. The best thing i would suggest is a better set of tires, and when you launch, don't floor it. Find out how much gas you can give it when it spins and let off a little so you will hook and maybe spin for just one second.

Default help with traction

i am on stock tires and wheels. whether at the track or on the road i get horrible traction from a stop. most of the time i just sit in place for a few seconds. i have true dual exaust on the way (more power) and traction bars (hopefully will help some). i was wondering you guys could give me some pointers on how to hook better.
