I have helped so many racers with their Viking Double Adjustable shocks, I figured I should pay closer attention to the valving options. Especially the differences b/w the Warrior and Crusaders. This video focuses on the double adjustable shocks, not the triple adjustable shocks. I am a firm believer in Penske Racing Shocks, but I am very intrigued with the Viking Performance line of shocks. I have to give them credit, many of my customers run them very successfully and when I understand the valving in their shocks and I help them tune them, they respond very well at the track to the tuning for both slicks and radials.
How many of you are running Viking shocks? Good experience, bad experience or neutral?
Hello, would you happen to know if cpp coilovers actually use a genuine viking shock? Thanks
Anyway you could offer some insight on my combination?
Mike at viking is a good dude. Very helpful and knowledgable. He just helped me the other day pick out a set of front dbladj coil over for the front of my drag car.
devoncoolman88 thanks so much for your comments! Mike has been very patient with me and so helpful!! Thanks for leaving a comment about that! Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!
I have 15yr old Aldan's.Pre-Viking? Never used, on my 68 Camaro pro street build. QA1 single adjustable fronts. Chassis is in,now time for interior sheet metal,wheel tubs etc. Watching ever one of your shows for future reference. Thank you!

Good video! I just installed a set of crusader AK valving on my fairmont but haven't made it the track to play with them any.
Good info I was just about to get the Vikings coil over fronts for my 65 El Camino and didn't know there was all of these options
Hot Rod Dave thanks so much for your comments! Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!
Love the info. Would love to see info on radial shock setup with single adjustable shocks and how you can get them to work if that’s what you have. And recommendations for anti squat % and 4 link bar angles based on vehicle weights and horsepower for radials as well.
Broomy's Garage thanks so much for your comments! I will take notes of your requests and see what I can do for that. Single adjustable with Radials... well now that is definitely going to be some fun. I will chew on this one more, but I bet with some good valving and shock dyno time it can happen. Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!
Thanks Kevin I’m running Viking shocks all round your video was very helpful
Cheers shaun

BOOT thanks so much for your comments! Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!
Thanks for the great video. Very informative.
Jason Williams thanks so much for your comments! Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!
Great Video, I have a question on my 72 Pontiac Ventura just put Viking crusader H L on the back and have stock shocks on the front, running low 10's pump gas pontiac.
In my Ws6 I have afco doubles out back from madman and Viking doubles with k valving up front. Typical stock bore 5.3 deal with a billet 85 on it (on 275 pros)
Just had started working the bugs out towards the end of last year but it’s looking like I should have plenty of shock. She gunna see 30lbs of boost this year so I’m about to find out!
I could really use some help on no prep though. That I don’t have a clue on apparently because it’ll white smoke the tires at 70mph on 12lbs of boost lol

Hi Mr Wilson, I’m awaiting arrival of the Viking warrior front coil overs. Vehicle is a 56 ford panel street rod with about 500 hp. 460 with aluminum heads and intake. Weight is about 4K with driver. For the best possible handling on street, should I just start in the middle and firm up compression/rebound?
Thanks for your consideration and information your videos provide.
This has helped me big time! I more then likely will be asking you for help.
Do you know any software that is good for logging and adding in the weather?
Real time weather is critical to my tuning... I use an actual weather reader for me at the track. It is a Kestrel device. Go fast, go straight! Be SAFE!
What about say an S-10 with slide a links with sliders and anti roll bar?
cathy gambill thanks so much for your comments! I would need much more info about the S10 to help further. Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!
@@KevinWilsonSBC What do you need? it is an old 306 cid bush series based chevy v-6 with 18 degree heads on nitrous. Cab has been moved back to close gap between bed and cab 1 1/4 inches as well as the engine. Back of cab, front of bed and floor of bed have been replaced with .063 diamond plate aluminum. Chromoly 8.50 cage. 275/60s radials /28" slicks on 10" rear wheels. kirky alum. seats, dash shell with gauge panel, heat /def. deleted . Frame horns were cut back to relocate bumper (fiberglass) in correct location and core support is small tube construction Est. weight is around 2200 lbs. with about 800 RWHP. mono leaves rear springs, QA1 front control arms with 1" longer upper ball joints. 350 lbs. rate front coil overs by viking are being considered with rear viking shocks. if you have any suggestions it would be greatly appreciated. Comp. eng. slide-a-links, rear slider, and anti roll bar are in place already of course. Oh and lexan windows.
Thank you so much for your video series, they have helped me a ton! I have a tube chassis, big tire, 4 link, 605hp bracket car with a low and long instant center. IC is about 6 inches off the ground and about 6 inches behind the front tire. Why when I watch the slow mo video of the launch does it show separation? Also how do I know if I set the rebound too soft on the rear shock? Thanks again!
Bruce Shonk thanks so much for your comments! Great question and I have a video on the way to address that. Curious your 4 link spread in rear and at chassis..... especially the top bars. Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!
What setup shock wise would you do on a street strip 4k lb mustang s550 with a centri making 900-1100 wheel
Great info!!!
Tim's Insanity thanks so much for your comments! Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!
Thanks for all the great helpful video! Do you know if you can use the crusader valves in a warrior coilover.
Dirty South STREETCARS thanks so much for your comments! I would have to say I doubt the crusader valves will work in a warrior. Not 100% sure on that, but I will find out. Go fast, go straight! Be Safe!!
@@KevinWilsonSBC thank you!
