Moving in the right direction:
Removed the KYB rear and nicely surprised when I removed the front shocks.
I expected to see Monro stamping because they were Blue but instead it was "Herb Adams by Moroso"
And I remembered after his company VSE kinda fizzled he teamed up with Moroso back in late 80's - early 90's.

With some machining, I fabbed up some mounts and fitted a set of oversized 55mm Beltech shocks which accommodate the car's weight much better than traditional size shocks.

GT style springs and finding bigger sway bars will most likely be next season.

Going to tweak the stock 525 CFM AFB again, good gas mileage carb...

No wonder from carb size the GP engine was 350 HP and very same engine in GTO with 750 Qjet was 365HP
