Default Are adj shocks and springs a must???

The current mods and times are in my sig. I ordered a MWC Fab9 with the adj tq arm, adj lca's, adj phb, and sfc's. I also ordered a nitrous outlet wet plate kit with a progressive controller, race star wheels(15x10, 15x3.5) with 28" drag radials in the back. I pretty much ran out of budget with all that stuff. Are adj shocks and springs a must to get it to hook on the spray from the line? I have a couple guys in my unit that think they can beat the car and I just cant have one of them beat me, not an option. I am also wanting a mid 10 sec pass in the worst way. Thanks guys

A must? No.

Will they help and possibly lower your ET? Yes.

I've been mid 1.3's 60's on stock **** but I'm sure some adjustables would be better....

Im with Baked. Ive been 1.3's as well on stock shocks and springs. It would probably be easier to cut good 60' times with adjustable shocks and springs, but I think you will be fine running the stock stuff until you have the money for the adjustables. Just make sure your pinion angle and tire pressure are set right and you will be ok.
