you know I am a huge fan of Monte's. he has forgot more than I will ever learn. but one thing I have seen is that some of you guys who are real close say the same things I enjoyed the part about shocks. he explained how the different shocks work. I think it's up to you to take that and learn to tune from that. If I had to buy another inexpensive shock it would be an affco. I don't know how you could say it's not worth the money unless you know everything he talked about. I knew a few things he talked about but also leraned a few things. if you pick up one thing that helps your race program it's worth the money imo.
