I bought mine mail order and I had to send them back and PAY to get them valved correctly for my application. I am not bitching, they are great, but the money I saved buying mail order did not cover up the price of getting them revalved. I should of bought them direct from afco.
I am not really sure what the question is, but I am pretty sure the answer is Big Block.

Hello Rich!!

I'm a AFCO sales representant here in Brazil and I got all the technical informations about the AFCO shocks with Mr. Eric Saffell.

Send him an email!! He's a very smart guy and i'm sure he'll help you...

Have a nice week!!

Jeff

Rich,
How much torque are you making on the launch?
What's your launch rpm? Converter stall?
Which tire are you running?
