Rear drag shock question I currently have Q1A's and Hals up front and I would like to upgrade the rear shocks but I have a few questions.
For a drag application do you want a looser shock?
If so, I have about 95K on my factory rear shocks so I assume they are pretty freaking worn/loose....will these give me the same effect as a drag shock? Should I keep these and save the money?
Thanks in advance

Dunno man..... I'm still learning.
I run QA1's front and rear with stock V6 springs.
I set the fronts to all loose.
On a stock worn out 90,000 mile shock I spun to a 1.58 on the bottle w/ 3:23's.
The rear's (for N/A + 4:10's)..... I've loosened to setting # 6.
Dunno about my nitrous + 4:10's for rear shock settings.... anyone have suggestions?

I run the Comp Engineering #C2700 rear drag shocks. We have them set at 50/50 and they seem to plant the rear end well. Best 60' time was a 1.42. Both shocks only set me back $80. They are not as easy to set as the QA1's, but for the money you can't beat them. You have a choice of 30/70, 40/60, or 50/50.

With slicks I run the rear at 10 and the front on 1 with the R-series up front. I also have travel limiters to keep me on the ground.
On ET-streets I run the rear on 4 and the front on 1. I take the travel limiters off for the ET-streets.
