Question Suspension for drag racing

What suspension should I go with for drag racing? She is going to be pretty heavy in the front end due to the TT's, tranny and engine that I am going to be using. The car should make 1000 rwhp so I need every thing that you all can think of to make sure the cars can hook up and stay together. Thanks for the help.

with that much power I hope you have upgraded rear end...solid rear axle would be of great benefit...just ask the Cobra boys about that. knew a few who swapped out their IRS for a reg solid axle out of GT stang and dropped 1/2 second. IRS isn't known for 1/4 usage.

Retrofit a ford 9 inch to your car and call it good. (I realize this isn't a simple task... but you asked).

I have a 9in from Moser that I took off my F-body. I am going to see if I can have that modified. Thanks for the info WTX350Z. What about springs and shocks? If the same principle applies to the Z like are F & Y body cars, I should go with a adjustable coil overs. What do you all think?

all same principles apply. esp once you get that solid axle in there.

You likely know more about Drag setups than I. I haven't been drag racing in quite a few years.
