NAW no race hoser just some shock tuning on the rear of the pilots which turned out better than I could imagine today and testiing my 5-1600 car for the laughlin dezrt challenge. How I wish you could come drive my pilots hoser, I have tried many things since I started into this pilot life, most long travel pilot owners could not imagine how a pilot can really handle when they are running off the shelf ATV shocks, close to 4 inches less wheel travel and springs entirly to big. I have spent a large amount of time trying many different things, doing different things to the pistons and shim stacks and I am to the point I don't think any other changes can be made to improve it. The only limitatin now is the wheelbase which it is what it is I have driven some pretty awsome off road cars and trucks over the years, driving my pilot today shocked the chit out of me . Video and pictures to come in the next couple of days
Maybe its time you enter a Pilot in a desert race I doubt you need much more than a stock
Engine to win.
I would like for you to drive my Pilot see what you think about the suspension I havent been able to get it dialed back in since I changed the hoses to the reservoirs (went bigger) and changed the front A arms from my home made setup (kind of a long story)

I think I need to learn the secrets of the valve stacks like what does what I have seen some strange valve stack arrangements over the years just don't know how to 'read' the stack to figure out what it does.
