Question Straight line handling

Hi all. What's your recommendation for a good drag strip setup?

2012 Mustang GT, 6 spd, brembo pkg. Looking to use forced induction in the near future but want the car to somewhat handle the power and put it down.

Wider tires? Bigger wheels? Smaller wheels? Softer suspension? Help. Thanks!

Default Straight line handling

TTurboGP, Here is what I would suggest.Most of the action is in the rear, yes, I know the front has to come up for good weight transfer. In the rear, Adjustable upper and lower control arms. Adjustable pan-hard bar. Believe it or not, the new "trick" is to retain the stock rear sway bar. I replaced mine, but now have second thoughts. I have ROUSH heavy duty, OEM height, rear springs and ROUSH heavy duty shocks. The ultimate is to also lighten the front end. This is expensive but important for those freaky 60 footers. I am currently consulting with a team about their 1987 mustang fastback with a 363 ,88mm, turbo 1100rwhp on the dyno. This is a quick outline so don't hesitate to ask me more specific questions. By the way, I favor Nitrous, but am very impressed with those turbo systems.
