Default 5k launch on stockers vs. 5k launch on koni sa

take the same car same mods, all the same. one has stock springs and shocks (100K on them) got a 1.693 60ft. what kind of 60ft would the konis do?

Well remember the KONIS are not drag shocks. I have not see a post where the same car on the same track coniditions have done that with both sets. Since every car is different you would have to use the same car to compare. However I will say I don't think your 60 foot is going to go up to 2.0. I really dont' think it will negatively impact it. I would get konis for the curves and all the times your not at the track

I friend of mine had a cam only 6 speed Formula and he set his car up just as Sam Strano had suggested for what he wanted. He kept the stock springs but went with Konis. He was very competitive autocrossing and cut 1.59 short times on drag radials. Thats the best of both worlds IMO.
