Default Increasing traction on Honda Civic EK9 with weight

How much weight can I add to the front of my EK9 815 horsepower (at the wheels) car to get better traction and a better time from the start to 60 feet.

The car runs this distance at about 1/8 of a second and I want to get it down to about 1/5 of a second

Convince me that this isn't a troll thread.

It's not. The last thread was a mistake.

And just to add:

an 8th is .125
a fifth is .20

So if you wanted to go quicker, then a 16th is the direction you would need to go.
1/5th would be slower.


Either troll or just plain dumb or maybe both.
