Default Upgrading trans - launching concerns

I am looking at getting a 2800 stall converter, transgo shift kit, and was wanting to get 4.10 or 3.90 gears.

my only concern would be launching. i dont wanna sit at the line and burn rubber. right now it sits on bullit rims with falken tires.

so this makes me also consider 3.73's i want the feel of the 4.10 but as said dont wanna waste tire at the line. is it as bad as im making it out to be? If it is going to be bad are there springs/ control arms that would help? im looking at eibach sportlines but not sure if they would help with weight distribution when launching.

3.73 would be good gears if you hammer the gas your almost always gunna burn a little tire no matter what you do... springs will make a big difference tho im not sure which brand is best im sure someone with a little more wisdom will come in soon

PS your inbox is full you can send that thing whenever your ready

you might want a higher stall if you're going to put one in anyways.

found a good deal on this one (600)

and plan on possibly supercharging it in the future. (centri)

2800 is to low?
