Yes, you don't want to be to aggressive. The lower hole works best and you want to extend the shock slower then with a slick. I would recommend a good double adjustable shock. How much power are you trying to hook?
Not to hyjack the post, but mine are in the top hole...should I change them? Haven't run the car yet but hoping to get up in the next 2 weeks. I'm running the MT Radial Pro's. and crappy Comp Eng drag shocks. I'm just looking for 1.52-1.55's

Mine are in the top hole also, rear shocks set on 9 and the the bolt just touching the spring. I am think about moving to bottom hole to see if it will com down the front end when it leaves. But it hooks good now. I am running M/T 315/60 Drag radials. 1.33 60 ft.

Do you always race w/out a hood? Cos I`m thinking there`s a few mph w/one on............ 
Thumper check the thread out that I posted ( hood and scoop color with pictures)I think it is on page 3 now.I don't want to hijack this thread. Tell me what you think.
