Yeah, what he said! Lowering the front control arms actually makes the front wheels have to travel FARTHER to get off the ground.

Get the suspension tuned up for starters. Rear control arms would be my first stop. Stockers just flex waaaaay too much. Some good slicks, and well thought out launch RPM, and sidestep the clutch.

Keep 2 things in mind. Yanking the wheels sure looks cool, but it's not the fastest way down the track. Going "up" is wasted motion, the best times/speed come from going "forward". The other thing to remember, when launching a car hard enough to hang the hoops, you WILL find the weak spot in your driveline!
