To put things in perspective, here are a couple dig races against 5s mustangs on slicks and spray. I have 275 drag radials on all 4, and dont do a burnout, ever.

This is a good launch, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVop...re=c4-overview

This is spinning all through 1st gear, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N5Xt...bJz5E7-rSqcNbA

It was pretty simple up to around the 650rwhp mark. Stock front springs heated up to drop to the height I wanted. Stock 130,000 mile front shocks. Removed middle leaf spring. Stock shackles, stock hangers. Assassins or cal tracs. I used a rancho 9000xl. A stock replacement shock with good extension and hard rebound from O'Reily will work too. Sometimes I used a nitrous controller, sometimes I didn't. I had the best luck with a 28x10.5 Hoosier stiff sidewall. If I could have got my truck low enough in the rear I would have used a 29.5x10.5
