Default good street/strip susoension set up.

Can anyone point me in the right direction for a good but affordable suspension set up for street strip? Car already has Spohndumbody mounted TA & DS loop, BMR adjustable panhard bar, UMI adj LCA's, Comp Eng. welded SFC's.

Car was getting some 1.7 sixty foot times with a 12.01 @ 116 trap. With m/t et streets. Car is a manual. I feel like with what done to that car there should be more in it with some type of drag shocks. I have hears qa1s are the way to go but not really wanting to spend that kinda money if I can get something cheap with same results.

LCA relocation brackets and practice. Drag radials suck on 6 speed cars.

He has bias ply's. "MT et streets" is a bias. "Et street radials" is different

Willing to spend 1-1500 dollars. However I was looking at some strange engineering shocks double adjustable that were very affordable and I have heard good things. Just also wanting to know what kind of gains I could expect over factory shocks.

Here's a nice DA street/strip kit

As for how much gain, of course it depends but you can be sure that DA on all four corners will allow you to tune as much as possible.
