I have a 94 z28 with a 4l60e. As I take off at the light, I have to ease into the gas otherwise I will burn out the whole length of the street. I am looking to get more traction for my car so this does not happen. I was wondering if anyone had surgestions on what I should start with, If there are any opinions on what I should be looking to do so this problem dosent keep happening.

A few of my friends have told me to get larger gears, buy traction bars, and buy some nitto tires.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO!!

Firestone EZ 50.s.Best bang.(predictible)Micky Thompsons next.My02.

first thing is to make sure the tires are up to the job at hand.

75K mile endurance tires....won't hook for **** even if you have a $5000 suspension setup.

but the basics:

tires
lower control arms
relocation brackets
poly torque arm bushing

gears make traction worse
traction bars...i think...are for leaf springs...which you don't have

It's pretty cold in New York these days. Tires get better traction when they're warm (that's why drag racers do burnouts). Pretty much any street tire is going to have trouble getting traction right now.

Do you speak english?

is your car stock? a set of lca's and drag radials should easily fix your problem.

What tires are you currently running? How many miles? What condition?

I do a little.When you say pretty much any street tire is going to have trouble,does that mean,maybe one or two may not have trouble getting traction?(Does having a softer rubber compound help?),I dunno.Many thanks.

Snow tires may help since their tread compound is formulated for cold. Most softer compound tires are more summer oriented and the rubber hardens when cold out and you can actually get worse traction than a hard compound all season tire. That is, until they are heated.....

JakeRobb

This is correct. Snow tires use a special rubber that stays soft at colder temperatures. The difference is apparent at any temperature below about 40 degrees Fahrenheit.
