Welcome to the forum! Good luck with your launching problem as I'm sure this will get moved to the appropiate section.

Lower control arms, relocation brackets if your vehicle is lowered and drag radials come to mind.

Make sure to get RLCA's that have urethane on the chassis side, and bearing on the axle side. This will allow the arms to articulate properly and have zero pre-bind that exists in all urethane arms. Progress and BMR both make great combo arms that are far superior and far cheaper than the billet arms with all urethane ends that some poeple sell. Also get a pan hard bar, again with either all bearing, or a combo of urethane and bearing.

Like he said too, if the car is lowered more than 1", get the BMR or Steeda relocation brackets and WELD them in (while the welder is in there, have him wire wheel and weld the axle tubes to the center diff housing too before you get that one good launch that bends everything). You can always do an upper arm too to eliminate the rear wheel hop and go to a sticky tire. A good combo street, track tire is the new Nitto NT05. Or the BFG is always a good fall back for drag only with limited street use.

PM me for info on parts we listed or if you have any tech questions about making sure you can get the power to the ground properly. Both of my superchargered GTs make over 500 wheel, and my twin turbo GT makes over 700. All of these use similar systems when it comes to suspension set ups.
