Shock selection for HPDE NASCAR
 
I've got a NASCAR road course chassis I'm building into an HPDE track day car. I'm still new to this game so I'm not looking to set any records. I am thinking about what shocks to purchase and I honestly don't know where to start. I honestly don't think I'd get to the point where I'd be trying to adjust them to improve handling performance until I get waaaay down the line. So I would suppose that non-adjustable would be fine. But I still don't know what specs I should be looking for.

Here are the specs for the car:
3200 lbs
Truck arm rear
Double a arm front
450 HP 383
4 speed dog ring transmission

Any advice? What might be a good starting point?

Sorry for the late reply.

Shocks for that chassis are extremely plentiful in the used NASCAR parts warehouses. If I were to build a car like that I'd buy some used Penskes from Roush or SRI and then ask Penske to rebuild them to a road race spec (unless you can get them already set for that).
