drag race front suspension
what kind of suspension set up should be used when drag racing?
for maximum acceleration do the rear shocks have to be loose or tight. and what about front suspension?
I don't know what kind of car you're setting up.
I'll assume that its a real car and not a front wheel drive. If its a real muscle car the very best rear suspension would be a 4 link (fairly expensive):

My choice and the one that I use is a mono spring and caltracs: http://www.calvertracing.com
Calvert Racing also has a 10 way adjustable shock that will help you plant the tires evenly. Start by adjusting the right side shock two clicks firmer than the drivers side.
For the front a good set of 90/10 or 70/30 drag shocks: http://www.jegs.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10001_10002_37706_-1
Its all about weight transfer, traction and keeping the tires firmly planted on the track..

Sad Ricers Drag Racing Fail
For best traction in straight line acceleration, would shocks be mounted in front or behind the axles?
'72 Nova, monoleaf, 3.90 rear gear and 2400 stall. Looking at some videos of my suspension it appears that I am losing some energy to axle wrap. So, I've decided to fabricate some type of bolt-up traction device to limit the rotation. If drag racing is my main concern, what would be the best position for shocks mounted to my new traction bars? My sketches say that in front of the axles would cause the rotational forces of the axles to compress the shocks, therefore increase downward force on the tires. But I'm wondering why GM placed one in front and one behind, or both behind in some other applications?
Shocks won't do much in a drag car, but in front is the better choice. This gain is marginal and is cause by the fact that the rod takes up some of the space that is occupied by the gas on the opposite side. That is why shocks expand when you pull the safety strap off from them, the rod side has less area with which to push so it looses the game.

the Charger is going to be awesome! I like what you have done to it. It is going to be sick with that viper motor in it. The front suspension and bracing looks stock! You got some nice kits too!
