need some help on shock valving for a leaf spring setup on a 3/8 mile track,slightly banked and most of the time gets dry slick by feature. springs are ..900lf 1000rf 225lr 200rr .. car is 3200 lbs on h500 hoosiers....any advise would be helpful.

I have a similar setup spring wise except my front springs are a bit stiffer. Here is what has worked well for some time. Rated compression/rebound. LF40/40 RF 50/30 LR 30/40 RR 30/30. I'm guessing your track if relatively flat based on your front spring rates. Personally I would put a 175 on the RR. and the 200 on the LR. hope this helps

The bilstein dp1 package is a good starting point.Several years ago I dynoed a set.To the best of my memory It was r50/c30 r/f,r40/c20 l/f,r208/c78 linear r/r, don't remember the l/r but r40/c20 would be a good starting point.
