i would think if you were looking for a drag only car then 90 10 shocks would be the way to go, me i run coil overs and while my car isn't perfect for the drag strips it does hold it's own and can also rip it up on the turns

On some street/drag cars, loosening up or taking off the front sway bar seems to help transfer weight.
Quite a few Guys use the QA-1's because it's a click away from street to track setting.
I'd recommend that you get a CCW drag pack too with the amount of power that you're putting out because if you hook up with drag radials, you're going to break parts.
Good Luck Matthew!

I run no front sway bar with CCW slicks and skinnies. Some of the guy's are using less expensive 90/10 Lakewood drag shocks with very good results.

Can you explain?I don't understand the difference between hooking with the CCW drag pack or drag radials as far as breaking parts.
Thanks.

Typically,the guys who run a drag pack run a bias 16" rear tire that has more of a wrinkle type sidewall,and is much less shocking to the drive line when they hook than a drag radial,especially when you run a 17 or 18" drag radial.(also the bias tires are avail.26,27&28" for even more sidewall) Dominic
