Question Need Traction

i have a 1998 4.6l GT. MODS INCLUDE NEW INTAKE AFTER ORIGNAL CRACKED, 70MM THROTEL BODY, 80MM MAS AIR, OFF ROAD H-PIPE, KING COBRA CLUTCH KIT, SHORT THROW SHIFTER, 3.73 GEARS, UNDER DRIVE PULLIES, SUBFRAME CONNECTORS STEEDA TIMING ADJUSTER AND A SUPER CHIP.
I RECIENTLY WENT TO THE LOCAL DRAG STRIP AND ONLY RAN HIGH 14'S. I WAS SPINNING MOST OF 1ST. AND SECOND GEAR. TRIED TO BOG IT OUT OF THE HOLE AND CONTINUED SPINNING. WHAT IS THE BEST SUSPENTION/ TRACTION UP GRADE I CAN DO TO HEL GET TRACTION. I WOULD LIKE TO KEEP IT AS STOCK LOOKING AS POSSIBLE.
FUTURE UPGRADE 15IN PRO STARS WITH COMP T/A'S TO COMPLEMENT THE TRACTION/ SUSPENTION UPGRADE.

ALSO I RECIENTLY PURCHASE A SET OF STOCK HEADS DOES ANYONE HAVE AND SUGESTIONS ON WHAT MODS CAN BE DONE TO THESE AND STILL KEEP THE CAR AS A DAILY DRIVER.

Sorry but you wasted your money on buying those stock heads. The heads on the 96-98 just completely suck. PI heads are what you should have gotten. But about your traction problems. Get upper and lower control arms with some fat drag radials on the back. I have just CAI, intake spacer, mufflers and 4.10s and i have some bad traction problems, i'm thinking its mostly my tires though..

First off, welcome to our website, second, please do not write in caps anymore. That is considered yelling in our forums. The PI heads come stock on the 99 and up Mustang GT's. To change to the PI heads you will need the 99 and up intake manifold also. There are a couple people that have already done the swap here, they should be able to list the ins and out of the swap. I believe you can search the forums for the thread(s) on it also. This topic has been discussed quite a few times.
