Hi Tmatre,

Yes, these are protech shocks. I had them custom made and they just barely fit. I could send you the specs (and drawings with measurements) in a PB if you'd like.

Cheers,

Robin

It has been some time since I have posted, as I've had a broken gearbox and some other issues. I have done some testing on Spa Francorchamps race track, some long roadtrips (including freeway @130km/h) and finally did some dragracing in Germany. Though the track was quite slippery (not prepped at all), still managed a 11.6@118mph with a mediocre 1.85 60ft time. Still got the win over a new BMW M5, so quite happy. This was still on WG pressure (15psi) so I still have 7psi to go. Also need to stiffen up the rear suspension, as dragracing needs a bit different suspension settings compared to track and street driving. I also need to replace the 4 thermocouples at the heads, so I can log the data.
