looking to put some new shocks on the front of my 63. Open to suggestions it is street driven as well but more concerned on drag racing performance. What are your preferences?

Competition engineering 3- way adjustable 90/10 for Drags and also 80/20&60/40 part# C2610
 
A while ago, I purchased a set of 4 QA1 drag shocks. I haven't re-checked the rear. However, when I had the front off to change springs, I found that the valving/ratio/resistance if you will, between the two front shocks, to be NOTHING resembling eachother. I may look at Competition Engineering.

Calvert 90/10 with heavier valving. I wouldn't put qa1's on a dump truck. I bought the competition engineering, worked them a few times, and sent them right back lol.

You need to lift the front end off the ground more often to make them work right:hide
