Get my car to launch better...

Juvat---- What shock did you end up putting on?

I have 00' ram shocks on my dart. They perform the same on the strip as the MP and the CE adjustable , on MY car.

I think you should try different launch techniques , see what you can get away with rpm wise , etc......Et Street tires WILL hook. I used to run those.

Try clamping the leaf springs.

I tried removing all the rear clamps on mine last year--the car felt WAY loose and it did NOT improve anything.
