Using the stock shocks on my Demon with S/S springs didn't work...they were too short. I went with station wagon shocks and now use Rancho 9-ways also for a B-body application.

It seems to me you could use half ton truck shocks, if you check the specs they should be two inches longer.
It has been over 25 years so I can't say what brand they are but the Volare has truck shocks and SS springs with the rear clamps removed, it runs 1.41 - 1.43 60 ft times.
I feel the car is at it's limit with this setup, no room for a bigger tire (30/10.5), car hook's or spins the tires in 2nd.
Have a great day Iowan

Did you have the rear half of the springs unclamped? My car doesn't seem to have a lot of movement it kind of just plants and goes with the drag radials. It pulls a 1.66 60'.

No,I didn't have them unclamped. I could tell they were too short as the springs were trying to wind up when the shock hit their full extension( Had someone take video)so I went with a old set of Atlas shocks for a station wagon and they worked great and now I have the Rancho's for some adjustability.

Whats the car used for... since you know the open and closed length.. order up some decent shocks that give you some adjustment
