I use them and work great on my 8.50 car and I also use the Penske's on the 9.30 car. shop around on price, summit wants too much. I think tim mcammis race cars are around 399.00 ea.

My 60 foot times were all over the place before now it stays between 1.38 & 1.40 and hooks much better. Mine runs bottom tens like yours and i can't see any reason to buy Better or More expensive shocks at that ET. 7769404-DSCN0386.JPG (47 downloads) Founder and CEO of the Central Valley Mopar Drag Pack

I also think that if you have the money the Penske is with out a doubt the best shock out there. But I can't justify the money they ask for them when I see plenty of cars of the same caliber with and afco or a strange. For the cost to benefit ratio I will buy and Afco any day of the week. Back in the swing of things at Painless again! Great to be back!
