Start with some SubFrame Connectors and an adjustable torque arm, setup the pinion angle to -3 degrees and you should hookup really good. Get slicks if it's just a drag car, or some Nitto 555r's if you plan on driving it on the street too. Blisten makes good shocks and springs. Depending on how much HP you're going to have you might want a roll cage before you twist the body with the weak ttop roof. The lower the gears, the harder the launch too.

Also get a set of rear lower control arms. They will help plant the power to the ground.
