Right now i got bbk progressive springs 1.5 , i dont think they do shit shifting weight.. Will the stock 5.0 springs be better for drag racing. I see in 5.0 mag a lot drag racers still use them in 10-11 second range cars.

yeah the stock ones are way better, bbk are too stiff there for road racing. get some 4 cylinder springs up front with 90/10 lakewoods, out back put an airbag in your right rear spring it will help traction, steeda sell's the bag for about $20. thats some low budget advice!

dont do 90/10 struts, unload the chassis to fast, and adjustable is best but a 70/30 would work ok

actually for a 5 speed car the front stock struts work pretty well

stock springs with bag in right rear with 50/50 shocks, 70/30 front struts with a drag spring like a moroso or eibach, or drag coil over

and ditch the front swaybar
