On the strip your gear ratios are probably most important. You could go back to RWD to lower overall weight, depends how clean you are off the launch with that much power though...

Here's the kicker. You want to maximize your gearing such that you reach top speed the second you cross the finish line. I've seen a lot of cars with high numbers not maximizing on drag races because they have only hit 5th gear over the line with tons to go. The strip isn't long enough for a long final drive. So you can tune it two ways...

Kick the final drive all the way over to Accel and keep lengthening it up until you top out over the line, or you can do each gear individually. I usually lengthen 1st-3rd a good bit then shorten up 4th-6th progressively. That way you have a smoother start with less wheel spin and overtake everyone who has lost their peak torque in higher gears.
Keep a close eye on the curve though, once tuned properly it should flow smoothly 1st-6th with constant power

Plus overtaking lets you relive the classic F&F days!

Hey JennCottontail,
Always awesome having another gamer around. If you haven't already, join the FT86 car club on FH2. We haven't done much together as a club recently (my bad guys), but you can still get that in game bonus and any news.
Also, feel free to add me up and shoot me a line if you want to do some driving. GT: Sneetch3r

Add me up! Haven't been playing too much FH2 recently, waiting on Forza 6. But if you enjoy Madden, NHL, Hardline, or AW, hit me up. GT:Sneetch3r
