Question drag racing a Fox Body, air shocks or gas shocks?

I am wondering what kind of affects, good or bad, I would see with using air shocks drag racing. Should I just use normal gas shocks? I have both. The air shocks are gabriel hijackers. They are stiff but raise the stock hieghth 2 fold. Which ones are going to hook?

I think a MUCH better choice would be Maximum Motorsports Lower Control Arms that allow you to raise and lower the car as I think you could dial it in much better than air shocks.

I read that you want the rear to squat when you launch. So I'm guessing stiff air shocks are junk?
