I have the same setup.
What exactly is happening?
What setting are the front shocks on?
Is this like over speed bumps or when you hit a dip in the highway?
The best I have found for the front shocks is 1 which is the softest setting, the KYBs are not the best drag shock but they will work ok as long as they are on the softest setting.
Since you have the drag launch kit you might as well remove the front sway bar so the front end will come up quicker and get better weight transfer.

It depends on if your at the track or not.
I usually set the rears on 4 just around town and when I get to the track I either go soft or real hard depending on what the track is doing.
My best 60 foot so far has been with 20 lbs in the air bag and the rear shocks set on 7, with the nittos at 20 lbs.

Its in there all the time.
I usually run 5 lbs in it around town and at the track I take my air bubble with me and put air in the bag and let it out of the Nittos.
