How many teaspoons full of Cure-ride do you take before a 5-6 hour run?
Actually, I have not heard of it.... But that's not surprising.... I'm pretty new to this business.

Cure-ride was known for their drag racing shocks. In '66 they did a project with Shelby for the 66 GT350 drag cars.
In the case of my GT350 I think they work better than the Koni because they use a larger diameter piston with less pressure.
It just happens to work out better.
You can always paint them Chevy orange and put a Koni decal on it. No one will be the wiser.
Carroll Smith made that comment back in the 60s. There wasn't much around as a high quality shock back then. Bilsteins were popular on the Euro imports.
Just like spark plugs, every manufacturers tech numbers are not always right on for every application. Few actually test their products themselves for every application.
Not to change the subject but I use Champions to find the right heat range the engine needs, then I cross it over to a better quality plug. For the Ford applications I have always found them accurate.
Interestingly enough, I have found the Champion plug has a better heat range for the Ford engines than the Motorcrafts do. Champion is probably one of the cheaper plugs made but so what, even the platinum plugs that are supposed to go 100,000 miles don't. So get a cheaper plug and change them when need be. No biggie at all.
