What is the significance of "weight transfer" while leaving the line in a race? Is it better traction which results in better ET's? In other words, if a mustang already has adequate traction, will the use of drag springs, control arms, drag struts, etc equate to faster and more consistent ET's?

[I have a 92 LX Convertible which is primarily stock. With 373 gears, 15x10 M/T ET Drags(21lbs of air) and an automatic transmission. 60ft times range between 2.064 - 2.088. ET's vary from 15.37 - 15.44 The car is not launched very hard: 1000 -2000rpm. (still experimenting while trying to concentrate on the tree)]

I am starting my 1st racing season in a sportsman bracket racing class(11.99 and slower) this weekend and are looking to be as consistent as possible.

Thank you in advance for you help!!!
