New Best...Viking Shocks...Front mounted rear shocks

I think the subject line says it all.
Last week end, first time out this year. Ran a new PB of 9.29 @ 148 on a basically un-prepped track.
Over the winter I o'hauled the trans and had the converter tightened up a bit. Installed Viking Crusader shocks in front of the rear axle. Also Viking regular DA's in the front. I adjusted them to the recommended starting setting and never touched them all day. Traction was never an issue all day until the last pass. Cant wait to try it out on a race day with the proper prep.
This was with 17lbs of boost. Left the line at 10 lbs.

Nice job and Congrats

good deal. Congrats on the new best

nice run dave what was teh 60ft?where did you buy the shocks direct??

60 ft was a weak 1.40. The 1/8 was 5.98. 1.80 first gear, 3.23 rear and a 30 inch tire. I purchased the shocks direct

This is the perfect example of a properly matched combination. The 60' maybe considered weak, but it saves the 8.75 from abuse and from then on it comes on like a train. This could be a great Super Gas (9.90) combo.
Good Job!!!!!

leavin soft will sure help things live......how much more is left in the tune?8sec slip?

An 8.99 would be awesome

That is such a cool car and combo, looks like fun!

Very nice!!! Congrats on the new best! Those shocks do work!

More tail gear then start tightening up the shocks. I wouldn't worry about the 8 3/4 for awhile. Can easily loose a .10 in the 60ft and still live, especially on slicks. Probably get an 8.99 too. Either way good work and nice looking ride!!

Nice pass, what are you running for a combo?

That makes two of us.

It's a 2004 5.7 out of a Ram. 6.1 crank and cam. Wiseco pistons, K1 rods. Home ported eagle heads, Manley springs. 6.1 intake. Home built headers. Powerglide.

Would love to see a picture of your headers/turbo set up

Here are some pics from one of his posts.
David is a good guy.

Just back from TMP for the OSCA season opener. Car ran a NEW BEST of 8.999!
Broke out by .001 in the second round, but car ran awesome. Sunday made it to the final round, but had to settle for #2. Never had the hood off all week-end except for the tech inspection. This combo is AWESOME!
Also new best MPH of 149.50. 60 ft 1.364

you got your 8sec slip.........congrats Dave.

Nice, Congrats!

Great stuff Dave.
We all knew 8 seconds was around the corner and you didn't waist any time getting there.
How much lower do you think you can go?

Congrats!

Some video....just ignore the part about the Mustang winning!
