What will make the car launch harder other then shocks??
#16
You really don't want the rear to squat. You want to get the front end to move as quick as possible, so taking off the front sway bar, removing weight from the front, better shocks/springs, removing a STB if you have one, etc. will all help.

I agree you dont want the rear to squat. YOu want to hook harder you need to change your instant center...
Your instant center, or imaginary lift point on your car. When you take off the LCARBs help you becasue they move the instant center(IC) towards the back of the car.
The farther back the IC is the harder the tire will hit on inital launch(before the affects of weight transfer come into play). This is from pitch rotation(resistance to wheels turning, pinion climbing the ring gear) So, before the tires move, the pinion tries to climb the ring gear, lifting the rear of the car and actually slamming the tires into the ground for intial traction.
After that happens weight transfer takes over and keeps the tires planted from the weight of the car as it accelerates. Like I said in the begining the farther back the IC is the harder the tire "hit" initally, but also the less affect you get from weight transfer. So conversley the Farther out the IC is the less slamming affect occurs and more weight transfer happens!
So to end my blurb, Get some LCARBs and mess with the settings
Its worth a shot...
