Best upgrade I can buy to transfer HP to the road with a 2012 5.0?

[Ford4me]

When I find my self romping down in first, second, and third, my rear end wants to hop and fishtail. What is the best upgrade I can do at this point to keep my wheels where they belong? I'm running a BAMA 93 race tune and all else is pretty much stock.

Unless you want to swap to stickier tires, you can try some LCA relocation brackets. I have heard those do a fantastic job at eliminating wheel hop and getting the rear end to really plant in straight line acceleration. They are typically added to correct the LCA geometry when guys lower their cars but have heard they can be used on stock-height cars for increased traction. Do a "search" for those as well as an adjustable upper control arm (to adjust pinion angle). See which suits your needs better.

Thanks I'm doing the research now.

Tires are probably the single most effective solution to your traction problem. But don't overlook a quality suspension upgrade. Control arms make a big difference!

Some Steeda components would help you out! PM me for specials and fill me in on what you have already done to the vehicle.

So far I have a Bama 93 race tune on it. I have Flowmaster Hushpower axal backs. The car comes with the Brembo Brakes which the say there's Aggressive suspension tuning. (I ask what this ment but neven got a reply. Nothing but a few other cosmetic things. Thanks for looking into this for me.

In the interests of noise/vibration/harshness the OEM lower control arms use bushings that are too soft. Also, the arms themselves aren't very high quality, they are a stamped steel piece that has flex in it. To solve the wheel hop get a new set of lower control arms. Steeda, bmr, and quite a few others sell these. For better traction then the control arm relocation brackets will help, as will better tires like others have said

Will there be any other areas to look at besides lower control arms and new location brackets?

Control arms should be the first thing to look at. You can also experience lateral movement from the deflection on the panhard bar but your situation sounds like bushing/control arm deflection to me.
