Po Boy suspension? V6 springs in a sbc truck?

Just pondering putting V6 springs in front to aid in weight transfer at the drag strip.

In theory it should lift more, but I'm afraid it may want to fall faster as well.

Your thoughts?

I've never driven anything w/drag shocks.

I have no sway bar.. In that that pic I just had some cheesy s10 shocks and only had 2" of extension.. I've since added a 9/1 7" stroke shock, rides just fine.
