torsion bars / drag racing

Yes, the smaller torsion bars are wound tighter and have to unwind and rebound more from the same ride height - if that helps put things into perspective. But I've always felt that good shocks should be used to control the rate of front end rise and then compression once you get rolling. Too fast either way is not good. OEM shocks are pretty loose on extension & compression. The more power you make, the more you need proper/stiffer shocks to control what's going on, front and rear.
