They are the "own-at-the-track" shocks.

OP, nice times. I was thinking about building almost the exact same thing as your bird, really. Stock, bolt-on engine w/ full suspension, drive train, and lot's of weight reduction. **** you Cali Emissions...

I have my ways around it...
I still have my CC503, LT's, and no cats in my '97.

From what I've heard, they are drap purpose shocks, which means you might have to sacrifice some ride quality in exchange for better track performance. But who cares about ride quality, I don't, lol.

Great times ! I can't believe you are able to hold a 5500 rpm launch, let alone 6k with a LT4 clutch. When I had my LT4 clutch setup it sukkked, Twin-Disc now.

my qa1's are decent on the street but my 94 t/a with sportlines and stock struts rides like a dream in comparison. however at the track the 96 formula feels like a Cadillac going down the track lol thanks for all the kind words and props fella's

Good times, running right where a 3200# bolt -on LT1 should.

That car could make some money at a grudge night out here. If I wasn't knee deep in my turbo build I'd be all over that.
