How do the drag shocks work out for daily driving? Are they adjustable? Is the application for a Ford truck or some other type of vehicle? I would really like to hear about your experience with them... Thanks!
If you like to change things a lot and want to take control yourself then DFI or some sort of controllable mass air is really nice! I have heard that the Speed Pro DFI stuff is "The $hit" but its pricey... I think it costs about $3000 with wide ban o2... If you can afford it I would say go for it...There's also some things you can do with mass air to gain some control, I like the Pro-M harness because it swaps the engine control over the Mustang A9L computer then there's lots of options available for engine control, i.e., EEC turner, Anderson PMS, Speed Brain, C&M chips, etc., The Speed Brain I use is a replacement computer for the A9L and gives control via laptop over fuel, spark, air meter/injector calibrations Idle speed etc., I also have a wide ban o2 I use to get everything tuned in, Its a pretty nice setup... Since you use plate N20 I would think you could probably get by with just a simple mass air setup which should get you close then use the N20 jetting to fine tune it...

Dave,
The drag shocks I have are from Competition Engineering. I have had no problems with them driving on the street. Even under hard braking or normal cornering the shocks work well. I know the mfr says that they are not recommended for the street but they seem to be working. I have the fronts set at 90/10 and the rear set at 70/30. They are not specifically for the "L"'s but they do work. The way I figured out which ones to use was by using their catalog as a resource. I looked at the drag shocks which they list only as "front" or "rear". I then matched up the upper and lower mounting styles. Then I went to my truck which was lowered with Bel-Tec I-beams and de-arched rear springs and measured the compressed length of the stock shocks on level ground. I took those lengths with those mounting styles and matched them up with what was listed and made my selection. I don't think they make any that are long enough for a stock ride height truck though. I lowered mine alot so it kind of helped out in the selection process. So I hope this info helps out. They really do help raise the front end and let the rear squat. E-mail back if you have any other questions.
Have a nice weekend, Struckby,Ed
