Here we have very high quality shocks (though not as high as Motons...) matched to a complete suspension system (that costs well under the price of the Motons themselves). Hell yes they are better/faster than "off the shelf" Motons. If someone want to bring a Moton equiped car along and run it against a Vishnu equipped car I would welcome it, you can't buy advertising like that

Not sure what you have against JIC, but FLT-A2's are running great for me. A friend of mine runs them as well except his are valved by John Mueller...working very well. Here is his info on the JIC:

sounds good but a little late, where could we go earlier? Pueblo, near me, is open all winter. I know the Cali tracks are open but too far for all but Robi.

My car is a stock turbo pump gas only full weight car with a cat but it is pretty strong given that. It runs quite a bit quicker than a T2 car on my RA1s (more like GT-2 or T-1). We could take any differences into account (your car may be stronger?). You can come out here and we can just do the testing on our shock dyno(?) and then go to a track (for example). It would just be fun to get out on the track with some other EVO's or we could just settle it internet racing

My EVO has never been to Pueblo though, the track that I did all the testing on is now permanently closed 
. Do you want to dyno your DMS's, we've done several sets of DMS 50s but all from Subaru Rally cars so far. I'll come out to any track BTW (within reason), I'm geographically in the middle though
EDIT: Mark from DMS informed me that we are not supposed to re-valve DMSs it must be done by them.
