A good drag shock/spring

What do you all recommend for shocks and spring for a primarily drag-race setup? I am not driving my car as much on the street now and would like to reduce my 60ft times and make my car as quick as possible. It will be street driven, probably less than 3k miles a year. I've been looking at afco and qa1's, but am not an expert on drag suspension setups by any means.

For the front I've heard nothing but good things about the QA1 set-up. Allows for the ride height to be adjusted on the car as well as 12-way adjustment for how "loose" they are. I put a set on another F-body and was very impressed with the quality. When I can afford it I want to order a set for my Camaro.

As far as the rear goes I know several stock and super stock racers who run the QA1s on the front but leave the rear OEM. They run some pretty impressive 60' times on limited rubber also.

if you can afford the AFCOs buy them...they give you adjustible rebound and compression, also have more adjustibility over the QA1's....budget was a HUGE concern for my car ...that is why I have the QA1s....nothing wrong with them just like the AFCOs more
