When you know you need a swingarm in my opion is when the bike whats to wheelie alot off the line, and a airshifter in my book to me is worth about 1-2 tenths off your time either it's 1/8 or the 1/4 mile.............

The airshifter and swingarm really depends more on how 'dedicated' to the dragstrip you want the bike to be. I mean, both of those mods have a lot of potential to really improve your 60' times... but they both also detract from the corner-carving ability of the bike (IMO).
