In my opinion, if you're going to be launching in 4hi all the time, then you wouldn't want any squat, so as to keep the weight over the front wheels, too. If you're going to get some kind of race tires, then obviously, you want as much squat as possible, but you also want the weight to transition toward the front at a decent rate to get a better run at the finish line. I've had better luch using drag radials, and leaving in 2wd. At my local track, you can't go around the water, so you HAVE to do a burnout. Well....you don't HAVE to do a burnout, but you'll have water on your tires at the starting line. Plus, with drag radials, I don't burn off my good street Nitto's.
