Default QA1 shocks

I really dont know what to do to the truck next I want to gain a few tenths in the 1/4 mile I've about done everthing to the engine that I can, question is will some QA1 shocks help me gain in the 1/4 mile I really dont have traction problems so I dont see how they would maybe more consistant but not faster. Right. What to do. No Nitrous.

I don't recall you were getting much hop or too much suspension travel. I have a set of QA1's to help me limit transfer and keep my front down, I still need to get them on and order the fronts.
Do the nitrous, its fun

I had cut outs and it was slower with them open so I got a hole new non leaking exhaust. I guess I could take out my whole interior and tailgate like some Dew. Keep em coming.

Air ride helpers? You could adjust the air to "just right" . I have them on my truck, not track use for hauling things. Just a thought.
