3890 is LONG, like 24 inches extended I think with 9 inches of travel. I've been doing alot of shock research recently and my car (@15.5 inch ride height between shock mounts) needs a 3860 from Afco (6 inches travel, closer to 20" fully extended. They also make a 3870 which is in between the two.
You need to take measurements of your suspension at ride height, with weight in the driver seat, as well as full droop/extension, and go from there.
11.48 @ 120 with a 1.80 60' 318, stock 1.88 heads, stock 904, Pump Gas, 13 lbs of boost.
9.94 @ 134, 318 on pump gas, 14 lbs w/ Eddies, transbrake 727, 3600 lbs, 3.54 gear and 28's.

I've heard don't know how true but you can run a shock off of a 3/4 pick up truck with some sucess( staying on a budget)
71 demon stock stroke 440/indy ez-1 running 10.10 @ 132.14 mph in the 1/4 and 6.36 @ 107.46 mph in the 1/8 not in the same weekend but It did it then I sold it.
