#304915 Hey guys I am in the process of building my 500 whp turbo ls. I was wondering what traction upgrades I should do before I even bother trying to put it on the street. This is a daily too so, take it for what it's worth. Have a gsr trans, 15 inch rims. LSD is a no brainer. I will be runnin a boost controller with boost by gear as a min, how beneficial woul it be to run boost by rpm as well? Worth it?
What traction upgrades should I do to the car?

this, some DOT drag radials and some beefy axles to back them up.

In reality though, traction is going to be a joke when you're running 500 WHP on the street. :twisted:

-Axles
-Traction bar
-Adjusted weight distribution

*If the driveshaft shop axles are out of your price range check into Gator Racing Axles

I have a set myself, prices range depending exactly on your build. They are built to your spec whether it be drag, street, or race axles that you have in mind.

Not had a problem with mine at all and its been 2+ years so far.
