[QUOTE="slravenel, post: 739324, member: 1068"] probably beating a dead horse here.... and please dont take this the wrong way as I'm mostly talking in general terms here, not just talking at you; but this is also kinda part of my point. Its not just about speed - that is a big player in it, sure...but the performance is so obvious even at slower speeds, or when you are bumping an obstacle, or you are having to stick a line, or hook a certain lip of a rock, etc Shock tuning is not one dimensional. I dont know who tuned your shocks those 3 times, and I am certainly not going to just badmouth them, but if its still bottoming out and that person hasnt been able to address that and hasnt recommended even adding a standard resi to the equation, they arent doing it justice. What motor setup are you running right now? I would take an anemic 4 cyl and well tuned shocks over 1000hp and bottoming out 2.0 emulsions every single day of the week. Talking in speed terms though... More power = more speed = more bottoming out = less performance. Correctly working suspension = more speed = more performance. You are gaining speed both ways!
