When I think about FR-S, I don't think about drag racing... even after forced induction. But think of any other rwd car drag setup, and it won't be much different.

Wider, stickier tires on wider wheels will be the best place to start. Look at tires like the Dunlop Star Spec, Yokohama AD08, Hankook RS3, and Bridgestone RE11.

Learning throttle control will be the best "mod".

Otherwise the usual stuff with stickier tires, setting up a good suspension and adjusting wheel angles for you taste. That will take time to get optimized for your personal preference...

Please don't make it into a drag focused car! There are better cars out there for that..

The more hardcore you go in terms of quarter mile modifications the less good the car will be at cornering and basically everything..
Tuning a good car are mostly compromises. You add some to one place, and you loose some at another.. (speaking about chassis modification)

I would get the Whiteline Traction kit for sure to start if i was making a lot of hp.

Wider tires/wheels usually means a heavier set up which would actually rob power, not put more down.

Handbook rs3 for sure

Not necessarily. There are plenty of lightweight 17x8 and 17x9 wheels available that are 4-5 lbs lighter than stock, allowing you to go with a heavier wider stickier tire and keep the wheel/tire weight very close to what the stock combo weighs. Even if you gain a couple of pounds per corner, it would be worth it IMHO if you're putting a lot more power down.

A 2700lb car and rwd with an engine that loves boost. Perfect car for drag racing.

Not sure if this was serious?

With this flawed line of thinking, a Lotus Elise would be perfect for a drag strip.

I was under the impression that the high compression ratio meant that it was an engine that didn't like boast... NA4life!

450 wheel and traps 130...yeah defiantly flawed.

520 wheel with 20psi, seems to like it to me.
