Default Need some drag racing advice (shocks & springs)

Hey everyone I'm throwing a ? out here for my father who owns '79 mustang (full fledged drag car, runs 6.85 in 1/8 mile) with a 460ci engine in it. He wants to know what shock and springs you guys would recommend for the front. He just has the factory springs and 90/10 shocks in the front. Thanks guys.

Strange 10 way adjustables as far as the struts go for the front. I'd reccomend the eibach drag launch springs, BUT that 460 weighs a good amount more than the 302 and I'm not sure how those springs would handle that much more weight. But I'd still give them a shot.Good luck!
