anything you do to help weight transfer to the back where it count's will hopefully help the 60ft in turn drop your e.t considerably.. QA1's are top of the line and i have them all around.. I love em....

If you don't already have some, get some drag radials or other appropriate tire. That is the single most critical component for a good launch.

I have a set of front QA1 adj. shocks and QA1 springs for sale. New and never used on the street or track. Purchased 6 months ago. Still have box they came in.

I ended up going with Strange Engineering frt strut package instead.

$350.00 complete.

3. Air bag in the passenger rear spring.
4. Gears.

Good Luck.
