First of all, DRIVE THE CAR! Forget about all the "bullshit", and get your game face on, and just DRIVE THE CAR. There's alot more to staging and shifting etc etc than people think. Just drive it!
After that, can you say BFG Drag radial? These tires are sticky sticky sticky, ALL the time! As big as you can fit underneath your pony, this'll depend on suspension, wheel wells etc etc. I have a lowered rear, wheel wells cut out, and I am running 275/60R15's It gets a little tight on the bends on the freeway, but we're talking drag strip not I90.
As far as launcing the car goes, if it spins come down a bit, if it bogs go up a bit. This is just a "feel" kind of thing. Get yourself a 2 stage rev limiter so you can "set" your launch RPM. Oh, and one last thing...

DRIVE THE CAR!!!! It actually LIKES to get beat!

Hope this helps, and let us know!
