RE: drag suspension!!!
subframes will help with both the street and strip. you probably need to go with a set of slapper bars, traction bars, that bolt on the rear end at the spring U-bolts and help keep the leaf springs from winding up when you launch at the strip. they hang down under the springs so if you're lowered, this may be a problem with ground clearance. Lakewood makes some and I'm sure there are others out there too. I would not go 90/10 shocks on it and drive it on the street, you'll get really bad street handling with those, go with 70/30 shocks up front and keep the 50/50 rears. you could move the battery to the trunk over the right rear tire too but you will need a battery shutoff switch mounted on the back of the car for when you take it to the strip.
