Are Caltraks legal in your class? If they are I sure as heck would buy them over super stock springs. They flat-out work.

Just asking, but didn't IHRA pull the plug on class racing?

No expert but have 6 yrs racing experience with my stock s/strip 340 Cuda, my springs were clamped up front and I ran a snubber, thats all, worked great at stock 300hp level all the way up to 533hp and we only ran standard long shocks, nothing fancy back then.

I think the 340 spring idea would be a better choice than SS springs in that combo.

I would use the 340 springs. Look at the thread member Pro Sport has on his new Duster. He added a leaf to the stock springs and his 60ft is 1.50.

My mid 10 sec duster has stock leaf springs, I had a local spring company called Stuver Spring add one new leaf per side, leaf is slightly thicker. This stiffens the front segment, no snubber. Cost was $50 per side.
