Depending on your budget and needs (like are you full race?), you could see how deep you want to go. I am full race but stock wheel wells and frame rails on my Monte, here's a pic of my setup. It's a 9" with the adj. upper arms, tubular arms, drag springs, and a single pass. air bag. This setup works extremely well. I have the uppers set to the hardest-hitting setting, and I set my pinion angle I think to 1.5°(have to go back to my log book). The airbag is essential on my car to make it launch straight, i.e. not lift the driver's side higher than the pass. side. Before the air bag, the twisted launches unloaded the drivers side tire. Now the lauches are straight, using 28.5x11.5-15 Phoenix slicks. 60 fts. are 1.48-1.50 all the time.
A huge help for me diagnosing the traction issues I had was having video footage of my launches and reviewing them is slo-mo. Man you can really see what's going on with good video from the track.
On an unrelated note, the video also clued me in to a tie rod problem up front which made me investigate further before disaster struck.
