traction was bad before.... with cam forget about it! HELP!!

Okay my traction, well actually that's an oxymoron. The word "My" and "Traction" should not be in the same sentence. I have stock LCA's with no relocation brackets and crappy kumhos. I was thinking reinforced stock LCA's with reloc. brackets and drag radials. Would that make me hook? I was even considering an airbag on the pass. rear. How much would that help? How expensive is it?

What are my options. I need to get traction because I'm not going losing to cars that are way slower than mine and not be able to run 12's because I'm spinning the crap out of my kumhos.

Thanks

PS - Spinning the tires is fine, but sometimes I want traction!!!

I'd need a 12 bolt for that, which I do not have

Your planned mods will do the trick nicely.

drag radial's will help you hook for the most part in decent warmer weather

Thanks for the responses. I will be doing the LCA+Reloc very soon. As for DR's it's winter now I don't know if I want to do that. Maybe after it stops raining...

In the meantime, what is your opinion of airbags?? Do they work? Do you need to tote a compressor/tank around or can you just fill it to a desired pressure and leave it in the spring?? Where can you get a setup to fit an F body??
