Revalving Stock Shocks

[RalphieViper]

Archer racing's web site says that it will take off 4 seconds a lap by revalving your stock shocks.

Has anyone had it done and seen an improvement? Ran out of upgrade $$, otherwise I would of went for the penske's! This winter is Stoptech, aluminum flywheel, kevlar clutch, 10qt oil pan, sparco seat, delrin bushings, hans device + install = no more $$.

Thanks for the input.

Call Carerra shocks in Atl

You can manually adjust your own stock shocks, many have done it on here. Just search for the thread. 4 seconds a lap I doubt. http://www.koni-na.com/adjustment.html

Dump the aluminum flywheel and Kevlar clutch and use that money saved for some Penske's or Motons.

At least dump the clutch. Wasted $$$$ for tracking the car. Heck, many drag racers are using the stock clutch.

But getting back to my original question, has anyone seen a drastic improvment with revalving stock shocks, or should I just wait till I could "afford" the penske's?

I have the Archer shocks, I got them as a package with the Eibach springs. I had them installed at a Viper Days event due to the fact that I could easily get the car re-aligned because this is required with the new springs. The handling of the car at high speed felt a little soft and squirrelly, the ride with the new shock spring combo is great and I much prefer it over the stock setup, whether I am faster, I can't say, but the car handles better. I may have been able to accomplish this with just changing the valving, but I wanted to go with the Eibach springs.
