Default Shock settings for lauching at the strip?

If i have koni adj shocks, what would be the best setting for the at the drag strip? Also the car has been lowered with hotchkis springs. Best 60 ft time was 2.107 and i know that is not good. 9.019 at 81.114mph in the 1/8th is my best time with the mods below

Default Re: Shock settings for lauching at the strip?

set the front shocks for 0 rebound adjustment (and about 3 clicks of compression). Set the compression on the rear at 5 (start there and add more damping if it keeps getting better) and set the rear for 0 rebound (you want the car to be able to lift the chassis to plant the tires). I'd start with these and try a few other things, but this should get you started.

Good luck!
