Well you will pretty much have to comprimise Ted. If you want springs that will be good for carving corners, they are going to hurt you at the strip since they are designed to keep the car level. At the strip you want to be able to shift the car's weight to the rear easily.

I have an Eibach Pro-Kit with Bilstein HD front struts and Bilstein Race rear shocks. It's supposed to be a decent compromise between street and strip. Might want to find out what setups other guys are going for who have similar goals in mind. As a point of reference, the springs/shocks that are on my car were on Tim's '91 when he ran 14.2s with his 305 TBI. I don't remember what 60' times he could cut though, you'll have to ask him.
