Adjustable shocks?

Adjustable shocks? - 02/24/18 09:35 AM

I'm looking at getting adjustable shocks for drag racing the '71 Charger, likely Viking or QA1. Is one better than the other, and which models as it seems they both have various models?

I went with Viking and the aggressive valving for the rear.Can I say one is any better then the other,,,,,,,NO. But the car picked up and responds to shock adjustments.

Strange rear dbl adjustable here. Im a chassis-fab 9-wishbone 4-link with 800 hp. Heck those shocks been in there six years.no issues. Even trailered
car four times from Michigan to Florida without tying down chassis from total movement. Maybe I need new shocks.

I went with Viking's with the aggressive valving front and rear on my Dart. I looked at Strange and QA1 but really liked the way the guys at Viking treated me on the phone, they had the time to ask and answer questions.

Rear Viking here as well w/heavy valving and heim ends...........top notch and Shiloh went a 1.19 w/em so my turd is hooked up and smoother and less violent that the Ranchos........... thumbs

Thanks. I will have to call Viking. It looks like they have the Crusader and warrior series of shocks, and a few different versions/options for each shock?

Right now, I'm really looking for front shocks.
I plan to replace the 0.960" T-Bars, front sway bar, and KYB Gas-a-just shocks with T-Bars from a 318 car, remove sway bar, and install the new shocks to try getting some weight transfer to launch the heavy Charger (#4,150 pounds.)

I have Vikings on my cuda. Better than what I had before, but I'm still tuning on it...when I rarely get the chance to race anymore.

Viking was started by former QA1 employees BTW.
