I doubt it. Granted with chassis bracing you will have less body flex/better transfer of power, but not sure how that would work on fwd car

Stiffer springs in the back would decrease the weight transfer to the back of the car during the launch. Ideally you will want the front of the car to seat a little lower than the back of the car.

On a FWD car for drag racing you want to keep the weight of the car in the front... avoiding as much as possible the weight transfer to the back.

So stiffer and higher springs in the back.
