The S/S springs are an effective way to help control axle wrap up and provide you with the ability your looking for in drag racing.

S/S springs have been used in some pretty quick cars. A buddy of mine ran high 9's in a big block all steel (except hood) Dart with those springs.

While currently, there are more effective methods (for the rear end) to run that quick, a lot depends on the cars actual weight, balance, set up and power. As to when the limit of the springs occur.

Years ago I tried SS springs for my spring wrap problem on my 67 GTS with a manual trans thinking it may help. In my case I had no difference from the original springs. Stock snubber was not doing it's job even after addressing that still had what felt like clutch chatter but was spring wrap. Ended up going back to stock springs to get rid of the truck like ride and clamping the springs with actually helped along with an adjustable snubber. Caltracs would have done the job but you loose the stock look and ground clearance.
