Are you allowed to use the MSD Grid ignition? If so, you could probably gain some ET by slewing the timing and rpm to help get it going with skinny polyglass tires.
Yes there are a number of cars running a grid. At the moment my setup doesn't have the torque where I can't drive it off the line. My 60's are in the mid 1.7's which is pretty competitive.
It may be something I could look into for the future, but I'm more driver than tuner and like to keep my junk simple. I also want to win tho, so. ?

Take timing out on the starting line to improve your 60 ft. times ( with a grid system) and reaction times and then add it back in to make power
