Default traction help via shocks

I was wanting any and all input on a good set of adjustable shocks. I've looked at qa1s but I just don't want to pay $155 ea for shocks. I'm probably barely over 320 hp with very soon plans on a 150 shot. so I can't see spending $600 to get it to hook. I i do have a 3200 stall, and would love to be able to launch from 2800 to 3000 rpms. As of right now I've got worn out shocks and get 0 traction what so ever. This will be DD and street raced more than it'll see a track. Its in a ecsb also

Good to know, ever since I put the 4.11s in and stall my traction went to pits! I was planning on bars also. So maybe just good shock and bars then? Skip the adjustables?

Ain't worth the money in my opinion. I ran 10.64 on the bottle with this same setup on mt 28/10.5/15 slicks
