Question Full DRAG suspension setup help????

So I was ripping off mid 11s on low boost and conservative launches on my stock rearend this summer. I am dropping in my Ford 8.8" rearend this Xmas break. It is a 03 Cobra IRS that is fully rebuilt with 4.30s. Now I still have the stock suspension in there. I am for sure going to install the Delrin Bushings from the group buy too. So what else do I need to totally redo my suspension to be setup for Drag racing abuse. Here is a post with a few questions from my build up thread in the 3rd gen section.

I hope you guys can give me some advise. Oh and I will be running 26x10.5x16 ET Streets on the stock wheels.

Let me know.
Thanks,
Phil

Phil im not makeing fun but its not always the equipment but knowing how to use it. You have more h/p than me a lighter car than me but you need to get instructions on how to best use what you have! I have 14 year old struts with stock axles and a t11 diff and get 1.52 60 ft times, if you had that 60 with the trap your runnning you would be well into the 10's. With the turbo you have you have to figure out how to get of the line under boost without tearing things up, like a twin disc that you can slip, while building boost! You have a ten secound car just not a ten secound driver! You need seat time and maybe someone to instruct you.
