front ride height for drag racing

hey, i was just wondering if anyone knew how how or low the front of the vehicle should be in relation to the rear of the vehicle to be optimized for drag racing. if it helps to known my suspension set up i have, i have hals in the back with stock z28 rear springs and a dual air bag set up. in the front i have the hal r series (90/10) with 275lb springs. no front sway bar, rod end/rod end lca's as well. as of right now my front end is probably about 1/2"-1" higher than the rear.

should i lower it an amount, raise it, or does it really not matter a bit. any help is certainly appreciated.

in my opinion you want the car to be level, as low as possible but still level front to back. cause you want the front end to come up for weight travel. and the lower the front is compared to the back, is just that much more the front end needs to travel to move the weight.
