Default Koni shock setup for drags.

Hi guys,
Going to take the FG XR6T back to WSID next week,
I have run it once before, ran a 12.8 then 12.7 @ 109mph 100% stock everything.
Since then I have lowered the car, and on the street it's much harder to launch, seems to go up in wheelspin a lot easier, then a couple of weeks ago I fitted some Koni red adjustable shocks,
My question is, will it help get off the line if I put the rears on the stiffest setting, As it is only adjusting the rebound, I'm not going to change the front as its too much work to pull them out, but the rear is easy if its going to benifit the 60ft at all. Hoping it will help squat off the line for longer.
Thanks!

all you can do is set them on a medium settting and try one way if it gets worse go back and go the other way
