soft loc or advanced launch question

Joe, I have 3 way adjustable shocks in the front. I have them set tight because I thought it would put more leverage to the rear tires.(from baseline suspensions info). I do have two sets of slicks for it. Car is really set for racing and not a cruiser. I drive it to where we race on the street and hang out. I dont think the 4 link is far off from a good setting. I went by what the guys at Chris Alston recommended. I think I will lower the air pressure and launch it at 6000 to see how it reacts. If it doesnt work properly I'll go into the 4 link a bit and get the lighter springs for the plate. Eventually I'll got with a fully adjustable clutch from Rob.

Jeff, I do want to crack the 9's because I see the mph and know what the potential et is. If I didnt have the mph I wouldnt care about going that fast. I dont want a 9 second car just to say I go 9's so, nitrous is out. I pride myself for having a fast streetable pump gas small block though. As for the automatic. All my friends who run automatics are constantly telling me to put one in. I've been runing stick cars since I'm18 and wont give in. I just love pulling and pushing that shifter. Someday I'de like to try one of those Tex racing clutchless trannies or a jerico.

Thanks to all that responded and If anybody has anything to add please feel free to. Thanks again in advance.
