I ran these same shocks on my 64 Belvedere before swapping to double adjustable Afcos. Ran them 2 clicks from full stiff. They were actually pretty good. Got the car below 1.3 60ft with them.

I'll need to tighten up mine a few clicks next time the car makes it to the track. IIRC, they were on the lightest extension setting and I could hear & feel the suspension bang up against the bumpers. If I can slow 'em down a tad w/o hurting the 60-ft, that'll be an improvement.
