I just install CalTracs that I got from Mark at Lightning Force Performance and they work great. Took a .10 off my 60' times and the Truck launches and feel like a different Truck.

A combination of........

Jay Lincoln's Truck-Traks and M/T ET Streets will almost eliminate spin at 'my' 1/4 mile track. Nothing I've tried works with the F1s on--too much torque--LOL.

I agree with alphadoggy
The JDM bars are awesome

I don't think any of the traction bars will eliminate wheel spin, you have to learn how to launch the truck, be gentle off the line. Most of traction bars will reduce wheel hop.

Hmmmm.... Best way to stop wheel spin. Let me think. ...... I think the easiest and cheapest (free) way would be to not use the right foot so much.

If the wheel's don't spin, the truck won't move.

Add a set of your favorite tuner's traction devices.

According to my calculations, the front tires should fall just in time to trip the 60' lights.

O1whitelight, I manufacture a street/strip traction bar for out lightning trucks. They are a true bolt on sltyle of slapper bar, that can be installed with a 3/4" wrench in about 25 minutes.

The truck doesn't need to be jacked up to install these bars. They are proving to be very effective with both F-1's and ET Streets. Some of my customers are also using them with true drag slicks.

Check out the link below to my website. I'll include a picture for your reference.
