Best for strip on an M6 -- 1le shock struts or Koni Orange STRt shocks struts

I have both 1le shock struts and Koni Orange STRt shocks struts. I have 1" drop BMR springs and am looking for which shocks would be best at the drag strip for launching a 700hp M6 at the drag strip. On the rear, I have BMR control arms/links and DSE solid cradle bushings - all connected to a ZL1 driveline. I know neither are optimum, but budget does not allow for anything else at the moment.

I am a complete novice when it comes to drag racing. That being said, drag suspension is something I have been researching quite a bit lately. As you know a double adjustable shock/strut in front and rear is optimal, and I respect your budget. That being said I would go with the one that has the loosest rebound. To allow the front end to come up and get the weight back to the rear tires.

I just purchased the front strange DAs shocks to go with the rears I got in the bmr drag kit.

Thanks for the input, I will put the 1LE struts on the front - which is reaaly stock SS struts from what I hear their rebound has to be softer. But I will check...
