KYB's are high pressure shocks not really for drag racing. Try unbolting your front sway bar end links, that will help the front end rise. This was good for about 1 to 2 tenths on my car.

The 80/20's are valved in a way that will keep the front end up for a longer period of time. Good for launching and staying hooked through first.

KYB, Monroe and other "stock" shock models generally don't publish their ratios. You are only going to get a 90/10 or 80/20 in a dedicated drag shock or in an adjustable.
