What rear shocks for a C3?

Does anybody know where you can buy 3-way adjustable shocks for the rear of a C3? I'm looking to upgrade my suspension, because the car kept blowing the tires last weekend at the track. I upped the nitrous, and now the suspension won't handle it.
Thanks,
Jay

Try Vette Brakes and Products, they list them in an older catalog I have.

I think HAL makes a set for our cars. Also, I recall Monty having those on his 82TT.

With as much HP as you have, you'd be wise to install a loop on your driveshaft and both half shafts.

I do have half-shaft loops. I need to get a drive-shaft loop for the car. We believe the motor is making 850hp at the flywheel with the current nitrous tune-up.

Anymore info on the shocks? VBP only sells stock-style shocks. Nothing for drag racing. QA1 and HAL sell them, but they are very expensive. Competition has the 3-way shocks for $35, but they don't offer the back ones.

Thanks,
Jay
