Default Drag shock settings

The '73 Ventura is going back together finally. I am using Comp Engineering drag shocks front and rear. What do you recommend for the initial shock settings?

The car will weigh between 2700-2900 lbs. I am using the original used front 6 cyl. springs and a custom set of rear leafs with an extended firm second leaf and CE traction bars (yes, I will try Caltraks if this doesn't work). There are welded subframe connectors, solid body mounts and an 8 pt. roll bar. It is a dedicated drag race car.

Thanks!

Shelly
