Tony, you might try my technique for staging first.
Allways let the other car start their burnout first & pre stage first, then prestage your car. Let the other car stage. Now this takes some practice but you want to creep in a couple more inches past the pre stage beam. Now footbrake the car to 0-2psi or so, then engage the transbrake. Now you can throttle it to 10psi or whatever you want to launch at, let off the footbrake & the car will roll into the 2nd beam. You are staged & should be at your desired boost level and all you need to do is watch the lights & go.
It takes some practice but has worked very well for me yielding some good/consistant reaction times and the car runs consistant.
The tricky part is knowing where to stop in pre stage & how hard to footbrake it to get enough/not too much rollout when you let off the footbrake.

I like your idea cause it won't cost anything to try.
