I was thinking about those traction bars myself, BUT allot of guys told me they would not benefit me on anything but 1/4 mile. I never got enough straight answers, I looked into them as stopping my wheel hop on the 1/4 but didn't think that sacrificing cornering would be worth the reduction in bunny hop. Like I said I never got real solid answers so I never really pursued it much more. Wheel hop really decreased with torsen and all 3 polly bushings.
My reasoning to adding performance first would be that your going to tear down the transmission, so you'll likely want to change your gearing that will accompany your power levels of torque/hp. If your staying N/A you'll want something 4.06, if your turbo you'll want something like maybe 3.50 for taller gears. You'll also want to add a clutch that will handle the power your adding. Ripping out the trans is going to cost so why not do everything at once?
