I have a OLD set of QA-1s 0n the rear of the race car.. they dont make them any more but they work very well with my 4 link and they are just a single adjustable... I had them rebuilt about 10 years ago.. I have Strange on all 4 corners of the Rampage with a ladder bar

Given those choices - AFCO. We've used their Big Gun valving on some cars - that ate up normal off the shelf shocks like they weren't even there - with good results. Strange are also good. It doesn't take a ton of horsepower or potential 60' numbers to get to the point of needing some custom valving beyond what off the shelf shocks provide.
Settings for best results on the street and the track will be way different.
Street miles are hard on drag shocks. Maybe a set of cheapies for the street and a good set of DAs for the track.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I would have to go with Afco. Call and ask for Eric he will take care of you.

Afco. You did not ask, or mention it, but make sure you go double adjustable.

I fogot about the Strange coil overs, looks like they should be on my list to look into.
Mr.Pbody you were able to make SA QA-1 work on your drag car? I have a pair of older SA QA-1's new in the box that I thought would not work for my application. Yes they have been great with my car and 4-link with Strange single fronts
