Monte,
If you have 90\10s or 3 ways on the front and single adj on the back, you can only afford to buy 2 shocks, which one do you replace
gonna guess fronts

If your car doesn't have a wheelieing problem I would go with rears. If it's pulling the wheels a lot then I would want fronts. But I don't think with your gears you have a problem in the front.
That was a very nice way to tell me Im slow. Ok, lets say i start spraying a 150 shot on it. Then fronts or rears?
Your answer better not be " you'll still be slow"

From what I seen on DW I would go with the rears
but now he is talking spraying it... more than likely
I would still go with rears... but thats JMO

the rears are the better of the 2 he has. you can't control anything with a 90/10
From what I understand he has the 3 ways in front
which I dont like but I have no knowledge of whats
on the rear.. but as said if it isnt going way up
then go with rears... again... JMO... but I like
a vid so I have a better idea

Don't you only have 3.54 rear gears? I would put the 3 way on the front and still get rears for nitrous use. It should go bottom nines on the hit, that would be fun to see at drag week.
Yes on the gears. So you want me to buy 4 shocks. I only gave the option of buying 2. I made the question for many guys like me that have a similar shock setup and financial status

Oh I thought you had both fronts available. I would still go rears and if you start to have a wheeling problem you can bandaid it with front end limiters. They are easy to build on a bodies. You can use a digitset to delay the nitrous at the hit.

I'll go out on a limb and say Monte will say front  anyway I would replace the front first if it were my car. but what do I know 
Just curious why fronts? What is your thinking behind this. If it spins at the hit on greasy track what would fronts help?
because the 90/10s are going slam open bottom out and fall back down and unload the tires. maybe In am wrong, a little tire spin may not hurt him that much. he still has adjustment on the rear.
