First time going to the track. Any advice?

I’d hold off on torsion bars, shocks, and any other peripherals etc, and focus swinging for a set of Mickey Thompson ET Street S/S’s. Or similar. Blowing money on all the suspension parts before having tires that can dead hook is putting the cart before the horse. Get it to hook, have someone slo-mo video using their phone, then you (and if you post the video here, others) can decipher what the car is doing and you can start systematically, methodically start working on all the chassis stuff.
I agree. I’m going to get tires and if it still doesn’t hook then I’ll start worrying about suspension. I’ve seen it in slomo and the car doesn’t transfer at all. The front suspension is very stiff but going to do tires first
