Use the 116's.I'm a bit surprised about the suggestion of the 3400# springs though.I'm using those on my B/RB powered Demon(along with the 116's) and the Road Runner( a 70 coupe) uses the 3800# springs.

We went Chrysler's suggestion on the Road Runner.From what I remember,because our car with driver was over 3400#'s they said to use the higher rate springs.All I can say is that the Road Runner would hook in a car wash.

Not to sound dumb... But what are the spec's you look for,,,,?? I assume you need to know the "travel",,,so i should take off the rear shocks,,,and jack the car up,,,to see the amount of travel (distance) i get.... does anyone have a link to the various shock lengths,,specs,,,available ? I have 1" OVER stock calvert springs on the 65' (and it sits up a bit in the back),,, I need to find out if my shocks might be too short ? hhmmm,,,,

Not sure what you're future plans are, but for a 13 sec. car there are probably cheaper shock alternatives out there... You shouldn't really need an adjustable shock for a 13 sec car. But I could see if you plan on going faster in the future, and need new shocks now, why you'd be looking at them. Just trying to save you some cash!
