I have to believe that you know what you are doing with these JRi shocks, but I didn't know that shocks used a measurement of pounds like springs. My understanding is that shocks produce pounds of resistance to rate of compression and extension, like in inches/sec or velocity. Springs, on the other hand, produce pounds depending on their spring rate and the amount of compression. Suspension adjustments are a mystery to me, but I can understand how modern race cars probably have a computer controlling the shock settings depending upon the speed of the car and the racetrack conditions.
