Two words. Boost Control . The Mitsubishi spools up quick enough to spin the tires
The M&H's work better but still about 30' out in good air I would spin. If I could have had better boost control I could have gone quicker.
I could hook at the line so I don't think suspension (other than super long wheelie bars) will work.

Boost control is OK right now. I usually get a little rotation off the line, but not too bad.

I was also considering wheeling bars - or more correctly, for a FWD car, wheelbase extenders.
