Default Front height question

I have a 99 coupe, 422c.i., set up for drag racing and slill can be driven as a daily driver. Question: my new motor setup with the extra weight, has caused difficulty in aligning the front end. Do I need to use a heaver front spring( maybe a T1) or maybe one from Vette brakes? I am adjusted up as far as it will go, still can't set to spec's. Any reccomendations will be greatly appreciated.

VBP will make you what ever you want in springs. I have some heavier road race springs F?S but probably not good for Drag racing. They won't let the weight transfer as good. Call VBP and ask for Gary G. mention my name please.
