Those of you who do street and occasional strip driving, are there changes you prefer to make to the suspension for race day or do you choose a suspension compromise and just leave things alone for both situations?

I adjust my pinion snubber so that its just kissing the floor and play around with my adjustable Rancho 9000 shocks and it improves it by almost 2 tenths.
68 Charger, slowly in the works, 451 c.i. approx. 535 hp @ the flywheel, so far best time in the 1/4
11.21 @ 119 mph, full exhaust, stock suspension, 4:10s @ 3640 pounds.

It's a large hassle to mess with in my opinion because I try to use my race cars as daily drivers a lot. It's better just to leave everything in race mode, and deal with it.

What about shocks?  Everyone leave the same shocks all the time or run adjustables or have a set that you switch out at the track?
