Holy **** man, unless you have some SERIOUS sticky wide slicks, and a NICE suspension setup for drag your gonna get some major wheel spin, or worse wheel hop. You will need a very heavy duty clutch, and probably a new rear-end to be able to withstand that repeatedly. If you have adjustable shocks, you will want to soften the rear compression, and stiffen the rear rebound(if you have double adjustables). Then do the opposite to your front struts, loosen the front rebound and stifften the front compression. This should give you maximum traction to the rear wheels when you launch so as to prevent wheel spin, and should also prevent wheel hop. You will also want to run with softer springs in the rear than you would normally want for an ideal road setup.
