Is there a big difference between afco and menscer d/a rear shocks. Application is a back half mustang , on a 32/14 slick 4 link suspension low 5 sec. 1/8 mile.

Are you talking about the stock afco vs menscer valving? Or actual shocks.

 

[ant447]

The performance of the valving.

 

[ant447]

Maybe the afco valving parameters are to fit into any application, and the menscer valving is more specific for which application you tell them you are using for?

 

[lsone_chevelle]

you cannot compare a box afco to a mencer built shock(as they are built to your needs)

Mencer has a great program for radial setups but santhuff gets the nod for big tire valving imo. As for off the shelf stuff it's a toss up, even strange doubles do a good job of controlling big tire setups.

 

[ant447]

Bushmec, I was also looking at the strange double adjustable rears also. Are there a lot of fast cars running them in a bigger tire application?

 

[buschmec]

They are ok. The valving isn't as tight as the santhuff but they are better than off the shelf afcos.

 

[ant447]

Strange offers pro - mod valving that makes them tighter if needed

 

[ant447]

Are there a lot of fast cars running strange d/a shocks on the rear?

At what power level would Menscers be needed? I am currently making 866 whp and the most power i think I will ever make is no more than 1500whp.

Can't decide on whether I should get Afco rears or Menscer.

Spend the money once and go with the Mensers, IMO.
