Has anyone went to the drags with the PT style rear suspension set ups?

I like the idea of the torque arm or the 3 link but i was wondering if anyone took off the autox wheels and tires and bolted some slicks on and really tried to hook with any pt setup or know someone who has. I would rather have a car that handles and drives great vs a drag car. I do however want to trap in the mid to high 140s.
