Applies to N/A cars as well. Several guys on this board have cars with small tires and big motors, that you just can't deck and let them eat, without a bit of power management. You are still thinking of what works best in YOUR box, there are other boxes out there.......LOL!!

Currently mine falls in to even a different box. It doesn't seem to spin,even on T/T. So the larger wheelie slows me down. That being said mine is lame down low. Last pass at T/T. It has 60ft 1.32 so yes the track affected it a little. 1.345 3.843 5.926@117.759.257@147.61Doug

Does this apply to all suspensions?Leaf,4 bar or ladder?If not please break it down 
Pretty much ANY suspension, be it leafs, ladder bars or 4 links, do the SAME thing when you drop the button and that is stretch the shocks, at least momentarily. What they do after that, depends on the leverage point of the chassis, the instant center. The only setup that has an adjustable instant center is a 4 link. Depending on where you have it set, the IC of a 4 link car will cause the car to squat, separate, or stay neutral after the hit. Most leaf and ladder bar cars continue to separate after the hit.
So yes, all suspensions work the same. They all supply "hit" to the tire and leverage downtrack depending on settings

Mike I see your point. In my case I believe we have the chassis pretty well sorted out.
My Barracuda does better at the front of the track compared to the top end for the ET it runs.
1.24-1.27 60' 9.13 @ 145-6 mph.
A lot of 60 variences can be in the individuals staging process. 
Don
My 1/8 mile times;
60 = 1.248
330= 3.708
660= 5.782
mph= 118.03
