Default Any drag shocks?

to fit these trucks?

Should I just dump the leaf springs and go coil over? 11.0s first pass out, need to work on the suspension

What he said well except its a completely stock longblock, stock cam/springs etc. Shifted at 6000, although it wants more rpm.. but stock springs are not pimp. Kept blowing 4L60E up, so T400 in it now.

Throwing blower cam/springs in it, then working on the suspension. Thats the gray area with me, not having fooled with drag setups with these trucks much yet, Im a torque arm car guy. Get that straight and in the 1.5s 60s or better where it should be... then in goes the real motor and up goes the boost

Cal-tracs work great, and are an easy place to start for getting better launches.
