Hi, with increased hp n tq, any recommendation on what I can mod/do to better put the power down to the FWD? Esp on straight line acceleration.
Am currently experiencing tq steer and wheel spin.

sticky tires and COBB traction control are the two solutions.

after that, my 034 mounts are weak and if doing again I'd just pay up for BFI stage 1. stronger dogbone insert helped a lot. obviously sticky tires make the biggest difference. I'm doing the super pro control arm bushings also which I've heard help but i haven't installed those yet

Tires, suspension and mounts.

Stiffer suspension, including both sway bars, will help with torque steer. I had a '99 Regal that had 380lbs/ft torque at a low RPM, and the front sway bar made the biggest improvement in taming torque steer.

What everyone said above plus the Wavetrac limited slip differential if you don't have LSD stock.

Like others have said, tires, suspension, and mounts. A wavetrac is best used for traction and accelerating out of curves and turns, like at a auto-x event.

Isn't the wavetrac only for those without the oem lsd or is this an upgrade over the oem lsd aswell?
