Afco bulb series shock, base valve, with scrader valve tech please

[racer21]

Got a nearly new set of the base valve shocks in on a trade deal and trying to find out what kinda gas pressures to set them at and what adj to make and when,cant seem to find any info on the web,thanks in advance

Lower pressure slick track and higher pressure rough track generally. Minimum pressure will depend on the shock.

[racer21]

Thanks let-r-eat would you know what pressure's to start with?

[let-r-eat]

50 on left side and 75 on rights. That's what I would start with if the track was fairly smooth. Adjust accordingly if corn field is freshly plowed. Will run down to 10 and up to 100 if they have base valving. Without basevalving they need more 30psi min .

Anyone use just air from compressor? Or does it have to be nitrogen?

[powerslide]

If you are going to use compressor air i would be sure to have a dryer on it and empty it right before you charge them but i'm thinking no shock company would suggest that. We use nitrogen in tires so we already had a setup.

I run the IMCA version without a shrader valve and 15 or 20 psi in all but the left rear is 60 psi.

[mod71m]

I run on a little of everything. Do you have cavitation issues with the Afco base valve shock on a rough track with that low of pressure?

[mod71m]

Please don't take this the wrong way but I and everyone else will benefit more if you do not post information (a guess in this case) about an item you have no experience with.

Thank you
