FWD cars don't hook up really, that's why they get done by RWD cars.
Like spaceboy says, stiffen the rear. An LSD might help you avoid broken stock Mini diffs (which is happening lately) and give better grip if strip traction is uneven..
Who says it's a mini diff?

For drag racing I am sure that the camber and castor would need to be different to normal road/circuit figures.
I think that around zero on camber but I have no idea about castor.
What about toe?
The thing to remember here is that as the nose lifts it will change the camber. So you have to figure out the best static camber to allow for what it is really doing.
I would run a locked diff if it was a drag only car.
Yeah I would think you'd want as much of the contact patch of the tyre on the ground, never really thought about that camber-wise.
I think you'd want your toe set to 0 as apparently it makes the car edgy at high speeds.
I want to have a look into wheelie bars for the track as these would kill weight transfer as they act as your back suspension
What about tilting the engine forward so the weight gets forced onto the wheels under acceleration, I've seen this done on a few ( obviously not for a street car )
I've also heard about these "traction bars" which minimise axle tramp, does anyone know anything about them?
