how does she hook up?

[69halfton]

i wont be able to get out to the track this summer, and just got my truck all finished, the motor dynoed out at about 450hp at the crank.

how do you guys hook up at the drag strip with stock coil overs and trailing arms?

one of my buddy's says these things dont hook at all, but those trailing arms sorta look like HUGE ladder bars to me.

what can i expect?

what sort of mods can i make to hook better, without blowing the budget?

any secrets to lauching at the strip?
