you might want to talk to Ruslow aka Stan
He can get you a custom set of 10 way adjustable Hal shocks.

Go over to the road racing forum at NLOC he hangs there a lot.

I want the best setup for drag racing? Would 10 or 12 way do the trick?

How about an analogy:
Using stock shocks or a shock that isn't tuned to the suspension is the same as running regular gas and an performance chip.
