Default What set-up do I need for a dragster?

Alright so heres the 411, my cousin is giving me his firebird and I think I am going to make a dragster out of it but want to know what setup to make it actually drag. I already have the steering and suspension kit, which I think will help alot. But what other modifications should I get?

the steering kit is pretty much worthless. id stick with the stock.

use the suspension kit to raise the front and lower the back.

replace the rear suspension top plate short screws with long screws ...this will also raise it higher.

id go with a locked rear differential and of course upgraded fets , power and motor.
my brother just got the pnracing anima with the locked diff , 2x2 upgraded fets and some big fats tires....his does wheelies from the jump.




this is my chassis...im just waiting on some electronics and a motor. i should have the firebird wheel wells done this week. ill put the pics up when that happens. im not using those rims on the rear....im using rims to match the front i just dont have them done.

i also cut the front body clip to make the front of the body go down as far as it could go.
