No matter what you spend, you'll need to decide whether handling or drag racing will be your priority. Road shocks are in the neighborhood of 40% bump and 60% rebound, whereas drag struts (for the front) are 90% bump and 10% rebound for better weight transfer on launch. I don't even know if double adjustable Konis will let you dial in that kind of "backwards" damping, because they're intended for road racing.
