Then you want the shortest arm you can get, LCA brackets and the LCAs in the lowest hole. That comination will give maximum anit-squat and therefore traction.

Default drag race torque arm

Call FJ smith , Wolf racecraft or madman racing to get a recomedation. I think it depends on how much power you planning to put to the ground. I use a Wolf cromoly arm and lowers. T

I think our decoupled TA is the shortest one out there, but it hasn't been extensivly tested for drag racing. There are some heavy high HP cars using with success, but I don't think those cars have put any passes down on slicks.
