Default Another Drag setup?

Hey guys I know you get these kinds of questions all the time. I've tried the search and still am not sure on what I want for my particular combo, so maybe you can help me out. For the basics my car put down 472RWHP and 407RWTQ I have a Moser 12 bolt w/ 4.11's and a stealth torque arm GMS LCA's & relocation Brackets & BMR SFC's. My pinion angle was set to -2 when I had my prokit on it and have since raised it back to stock pinion angle affected? Stock springs and KYB AGX shocks. For the strip I'm currently running weld draglites 15x3.5 up front w/ a 165r15 and a 15x10 out back w/ a 26x10-15 ET drag. Race weight is 3680 w/ me in it. My question is what shock setup should I go with I was thinking QA1 R series w/ the 275 spring for the front, how about the rear? Would I benefit going to a 28" tall tire with the M6 or staying with the 26" or just switching to the MT drag radial with a different size? The bushings in my lower control arms seem worn would I benefit from some new ones maybe BMR's? The car is a daily driver but will sacrifice for awesome performance at the strip. Sorry for the long thread I just want some opinions from you guys. Thanks in advance

QA1s or the Strange shocks would be a good start.. and yes the 28in tires would be better suited for the 6spd, but you would probably want more gear then. stock springs normally work the best in the rear or v6 springs.

Yeah if I went to a 28" tire I would go with a 4.56 why should the M6's go with the taller tire? Thanks for the response
