Its all in the weight transfer of the car. In short, drag struts for the front, drag shocks for the back, drag springs up front, as little weight as possible on the front of the car (move as much of that weight to the back as possible) and a set of super sticky tires and you will have a start. A lot of guys in some of the stock classes pull the tires with 350 horsepower. You may get better results in the organized racing boards though.

They have midgets under the car that push it up on launch. If you look really close, you can see their feet. I'd recomend at least three midgets under the hood for your application, because thridgens are so heavy.

We only needed one midget for our Pinto. It was really light and had a short wheel base, so the little guy didn't have to do too much work.
