Re: launching

I'd start with rear control arms and a good torque arm. Also, see this thread http://www.ls1tech.com/forums/suspen...ods-money.html

Re: launching

Lower control arm (LCA) relocation brackets. They attach to the rear axle LCA mounting points, and allow you to lower the axle end of the LCA. That puts it well below the front/body attachment point, and helps push down on the rear axle when you accelerate. It eliminates wheel hop.

From my experience, the LCA's and the relo brackets are the best first mod for planting the rear wheels on launch with a lightly modified engine. I woudn't even worry about the torque arm at the level you are at. People have run in the 10's with the stock torque arm.
