I have afco from Mark Menser. Made car car way more manageable and consistent. It went from 1.45s to a best of a 1.31. Goes 1.32-4 all the time.

Where's your set Brad? I'm getting mixed opinions. Some say loosen them up, others say tighten them up. I'm

Afco here as well....1.41 best with Rancho 9 ways to 1.33 best with the Afcos. Very consistant 1.34 to 1.35 on decent prepped track. I had added rear sliders as well during the shock change over.

My Rancho 9 ways worked OK at 800 hp, but now not so much w/ 1000+ hp. I'm going w/ D/A shocks front and rear...probably going to give Viking shocks a try.

I use cal trac shocks with my single leaf cal trac set up. No matter what shock you use, there is no one single adjustment that is right for all occasions. This includes the bar adjustments also. Besides 60 foot times, shock / bar adjustments can also effect reaction times - especially the bars ( tight to loose ). Running tie-wraps on your shock pistons can give you an idea of shock travel change when you change settings.

Has anyone had good luck with the Vikings shocks yet? The two that I have spoken too haven't had any success.

hemi-itis...thanks, will do! 1967dartgt...From what I've read on YB they get good reviews. Some small tire guys in NC have had good luck w/ them too. Guess I'll see how they work next year...they're gonna be a Christmas present to myself.
