Default Traction Issues!!

I need help! I'm having a reaaly hard time hooking up of the line at the strip. If you read my mod's you can see the car isnt set up for the strip. I need you guys tp help me set it up for the strip. i was thinking of ebach drag springs with the HAL's up front to help my weight transfer. The car does not move up off the line at all. It's horrible. I watch the tapes of my runs and its really bad. Any help you could give i would be greatfull for! I really would like to keep my lowered stance if possible.
