Default More Traction Guide?

Hi!

I've got a B20B running on a 20G, cant get freaking times down to 13s... sad, sad but true... as i've read through the searches i think traction upgrades should be in order. Could you guys guide me and tell me what works and doesnt?

FWD car Traction upgrades?

PU Motor Mounts - eliminate? decreases wheel HOP?
LSD - elminates peg leg spinnin'?
PU Bushings - A arm etc, firmer and less spongy power transfer?
Slicks - the ultimate in grip?
Traction bars - eliminates toes from doing what you dont want it to do?
Wheelie/Rear Traction Bar - Keeps power from shifting to the front?
4 link rear - simple stiff rear and works?
skinnys on rear - ?
Hard springs up front - ?
hard springs at rear - ?
Engine damper bar - heard this works better than motor mounts?
Anything else?

What are your 60' times?
Slicks make quite a difference. LSD is also nice, although some guys manage to pull some pretty good 60' times with a pegleg.

Your are forgetting about adjustable shocks. I.e. Like Penskes so you can adjust the rebound and dampen pressures. You can also have them revalved if it is not enough. Oh yeah there is a lot more to suspension setups
