First of all start with shocks and springs. According to your profile you dont have any suspensions work done. Get this done and a good set of sticky tires and you'll see less wheel hop. You really only need a lsd if your gonna drag race all the time. ;)
 
The easiest way to gain traction IMHO. Put the GST back to stock, sell it to a non-DSM knowledgable person for Retail, get a GSX.

335 whp and traction is no prob for a AWD, plus you'd be running easy mid 12's.

Otherwise, Slicks or drag radials.

upgrade your tires and suspension. using shocks with adjustable stiffness would be a plus esp. in the rear. and install urethane engine mounts or inserts to also help with wheel hop/peel out issues.
 
Well, in all seriousness, the easiest way is to go AWD. It can frequently even be the cheapest way.

Nothing really against FWD, other than my personal, seething hatred for it on anything bigger than a Mini.
 
I guess i'll be the one who defends us WWD guys.

I'm currently mild-tuned to 18psi on a e316G and hold plenty of traction in 2nd gear and 3rd gear on a 70 degree day. colder, forget about it.. even at 15 psi LOL.

tokico shocks/springs& toyo proxe f4's [ 235 series ]. that's it. once I actually dyno and make my 300 fwhp, i'll definitely be looking into a full quaife LSD.

do you need it? no. will it make your life better? yes. ask yourself this. if you dyno at 335 fwhp and you spend 80% of your time just TRYING to hold traction, how fun/worth it will it be?

I said its not, so the quaife will be coming soon. :thumb:
