        Get the sure-grip/anti-spin differential. You'll still get some 2nd
gear wheel spin (I get 3rd gear chirp with a 3.90 rear end!), but it will
only
be brief (plus you'll pull much harder in 1st gear).

        Other than that, go to a wider tire (more rubber on the ground).
I have 215-75's for street, and 255-60 for play...
