One mod that really freed up my front suspension (79 Camaro) was the removal of the jobber ball joints and the installation of the low friction Afco ball joints. I used to be able to pull up on a front fender and release it and it would stay halfway up. With the new joints, there is zero friction keeping the front end up. which guarantees total front end travel on the launch. Track prep is certainly key, but 6" of travel up front for a 9" slick is very helpful to keep it stuck.

I'm not sure if it was your car or not, but on that video there's still a squack as the car launches.
