More stall and cam maybe. Front shocks wont do much in the way of helping, for a 2wd you want as much weight transfer as possible, right?

Right allowing the front end to lift up transferring weight to the back.

Well the QA1 double adjustables will allow you to set the rebound way lighter so that all possibel transfer occurs.

QA1 feature fixed, firm compression with a wide range of rebound adjustments for front drag-racing applications. Each of these lightweight, aluminum shocks is dyno-tested for maximum weight transfer.

2'' rear shackle drop and I removed the overload spring. The front is stock actually the front has picked up a little as I've dropped the rear.

When I got the summit shocks one of them was bent the other you couldn't even tell where the arrow was to align up so you could adjust it, The quality was not there. POS.
