traction you can fix with slicks, i never had one issue and also nailed 2.0 60ft times. tranny, what issues are you having?? 3rd gear i take it? i will sell you my old tranny once its out to rebuild if you want??? it just need 3rd gear syncros and that will make it so you will not be without your car while your gets re done??? meh i dunno. torsen t2 or quaife will help aswell with traction issues
do you have upgraded clutch yet? i dont see it in your mods list, nor do i see diff thats why i mentioned it prior to this.

Our tranny's are better than the ATX tho.
Slicks are the big thing. I'm looking into a T2 and maybe a hyper exedy. But that's big coin to throw out this year. My goal this year is to sort out all the handling issues and tire treadwear problems due to lowering. Next year, will probably be the clutch and LSD unless the clutch goes caput early.
Basically, 1st and second gear are too much wheelspin, 3rd gear hooks up easy.

yes, we do rock ATX in power holding abilities, but since we have such a gap between 2nd and 3rd the synchros have to work harder when we do that gear change. there for power shifting like i use to at the track kill my synchros for third gear. now if i shift above 6000 rpm i get a "chunk" and it goes in. suckzors...
if you dont have clutch, i dont anticipate yours lasting a pile longer... has it started slipping yet??
as for your wheel spin, the slicks would take car of that, i had huge wheel spin in first and even into second with my car, with slicks it was just a straight launch no spin at all. odds are tho, being as you are stock clutch slicks will likely burn it out if you do a burn out on them or hard launches. take a look at the spec clutches from CFM, dont come with lighweight flywheel and are in the range of 380-500$ ish depending on stage you go for. i will forsure now be picking up the torsen for myself when im down at CFM, i got my money all sorted out, what is going where, etc. i cant wait.
the hard part will be taking it somewhere to do the ring grears and diff for me so i can do a R&R swap on trannys and install clutch.
im surprised you have camber issues with the prokit, i had none except for when i had 7.5 wheels with a 35 offset, they had wear, but last year with the azenis tires the rear tires have no camber wear at all... likely due to being tucked in and not on as much of an angle... further out the wheel is the more likely to have the wear happen as it will increase the angle your wheel is on
