AFCO Double Adjustable Big Gun Drag Race Strut For 1979-2004 Mustangs – Leave Quicker With More Control


AFCO Double Adjustable Big Gun Drag Race Strut For 1979-2004 Mustangs – Leave Quicker With More Control

The folks at AFCO are at it again with a new drag race suspension product! This time they have dropped double adjustable Big Gun struts for 1979-2004 Mustangs on us and that is big news for lots of different racers in lots of different categories. Obviously the Fox Mustang platform is incredibly popular these days with racers using them in classes from X-275 to Outlaw 10.5 and all manner of traditional sportsman classes as well. These Big Gun struts, with their ability for multiple adjustments are one of the most important new pieces of the puzzle for racers looking to control weight transfer and by doing that control starting line traction and keep massive wheelies to a minimum.

Look, we love wheelies and huge bumper dragging wheelstands as much as the next website but when you are a racer trying to get your car from the starting line to the finish line, they don’t help. Good for stories at night after racing is done and good for photo opportunities, but for actually winning stuff, you need to be able top manage the car off the starting line and keeping the front end tied as closely to the ground and converting that “up” motion to “out” motion is one of the most important functions a drag race suspension has. With these new Big Gun struts you get more control than ever before from AFCO.

Lastly, we are familiar with the dedication, R&D, and processes that AFCO puts into use to develop their products before they hit the streets. We can PROMISE you that the design, the valving, the installation, and everything else has been worked out and sorted out before it is being boxed up and shipped to you. AFCO is very serious in the drag racing market and this is proof positive that the company doesn’t rest on their already impressive product line. New stuff that makes you quicker, faster, and puts you in more control of your car? SIGN US UP!

HERE’S THE FULL RELEASE FROM AFCO ON THE NEW DOUBLE ADJUSTABLE BIG GUN DRAG RACE STRUT!

New Product Release

AFCO Double Adjustable ’79 – ’04 Mustang Strut

AFCO Racing Products is proud to announce the launch of our new Double Adjustable strut for all Mustangs manufactured from 1979 to 2004. Targeted at the drag racing market, this strut has been engineered to exceed the needs of every Mustang racer, regardless of class or style of racing.

In many cases, controlling weight transfer has been a problem. By surveying the industry, executing a very aggressive R & D program and through forward thinking and manufacturing, AFCO delivers a strut that provides more damping control and adjustment range than any other strut currently available.

Specifically, AFCO’s “Big Gun” valving offers “Lock-Down” rebound control which can allow for harder launches and fewer wheelies. Initial testing shows a .05 (5 hundredths) improvement in 60’ times, simply by bolting on AFCO’s “Big Gun” strut. Features include the widest range of adjustment in the industry, detented adjusters allows more accurate valve settings, a very large piston (up to 37% larger than the competition) promotes consistent damping, regardless of piston speed, and is completely rebuildable and revalvable.
