Do you have adjustable control arm brackets on your car? And what is the rest of your combo?

I will be honest I don't know that much about the ridetech shocks and how they work for drag racing but I know getting a good set of shocks on the front will help you. How was the track prep? And what tire are you on?

It was cold out but track prep was ok. Once I let off and got back into it hooked. I think I need some 15 in slicks . It's just too much power all at once for a 17 in drag radial.

Tires might or might not of been the issue. I think you might need shocks more tailored for drag racing if that's what you plan on doing with the car.

Ya your prob right . I just want a well rounded car that handles good on the street, but does ok at the drag strip . Can't really have both .

No reason you couldn't with a good double adjustable shock and shocks might not be the only issue with it not hooking.
