I would like to know this as well. I currently have QA1 adjustable on the front but I dont know what to do for the rear. Should I go QA1 there too, or is that a better one?

From what I have seen, most of the sponsers, as well as the serious drag racing guys, have said that the best all around set up for drag racing is ...

$600 Rear QA1 Double adjustable drag shocks with stock rear springs
$470 Front QA1 drag springs (275lbs) and Front single adjustable Shocks

The best set-up for drag racing would be the AFCO double adjustable shocks. They're the best shocks on the market, and are decently priced @ $299.95 per shock. The next best thing to the AFCOs would be the Strange double adjustable shocks. Those would run you around $249.50. If you're interested in either, give me a call tomorrow. I can go over your options with you and determine which shocks would best suit your goals. My number is 225-673-3533 and i'm here from 7:30am-5:30pm Monday thru Friday.
