I got a friend that launches at 6k plus with a heavy shot of gas and hes on hals. Since the shock is adjustbale it would be hard to say that you got no gain out of it. you can set it up to compensate for tq squat and everything else. I sont think its a matter of not getting a gain out of it, I think its a matter of not taking the time to completely setting it up right.

If you've lowered it, some LCA brackets will definitely help.
