Front suspension Question
For shocks or w/e the hell they are up front...
For a car that is drag raced say once or twice every few months..
A) Would a more drag oriented set of shocks help with launching?
B) Double or single adjustable?
C) Brand preferences?
Thanks.

Well...
They would help with weight transfer. Is your sway bar gone?
I would setup the rear before the front since they will help you more.
I like the QA1'a, with your car I would run a 300 or 325# spring

More important than the front stuff you think?
I am open to doing either, just was under teh impression the front would help more.

We have been putting Strange billet single adjustable shocks on street/strip cars for a while now and they work very nicely. They are around $150 each from us

So a SA is fine, and a DA is not worth it?

In your case the Strange single adjustable will do just fine.
