Tom,
Many of those factory components are not well suited for a good launch. Start with more upward travel in the front end. Your front is topping out almost instantly.Then the rear suspension unloads then loads repeatedly. Gain travel by lowering the front end, trim or remove the rubber stops on top a arms, bolt your upper ball joints on the bottom of the a arm. You need 5" of upward travel from ride height. Lower the front until you have that much travel. A change of front springs is likely needed. You should use a longer spring with a lighter rate, while giving correct (lowered) ride height. Stock shocks won't cut it either. Start with 90/10's. There is so much more but this is where to start. Good job running at least 5 rounds. How did you end up?
