Need help choosing new struts

I'm building my 86 iroc for street/strip duty. I want to be able to drive my car to Silver Dollar raceway which is an hour and a half away but not have to worry about adjusting the QA1 style setups. I was thinking about going with a set of lakewood drag struts. 50/50's in the rear and 90/10/'s or 70/30's in the front. My car doesn't see a lot of road time and I'm not conserned about cornering, just straight line. I'm also not too worried about ride either. Ijust want to make it to and from the track and the occasional saturday night cruise. Any suggestions?

I dont think bilstiens are what he needs for weight transfer...Id post in the organized racing board and see what some of the big guns are running. You might be able to get away with some wore out stockers.

Hell, I've already got old stockers on there. They actually aren't in that bad a shape.
