10.22 1000'
12.22@111mph


383 w/th400
Drag radials M/T

Sorry, no good (close) video.. its ladder bar/ coil over. Cheap s/w shocks with QA springs.

Throw the drivetrain in a Mustang. Problem solved.Truck only weighs 3200? That surprises me.

Kinda light... but still a huge "wind hog"!!!!!

Given a best of 1.80 60' I would think there's a couple 10th waiting to be found in your launch; try CalTracs if you are still running leaf springs, maybe trying different front and/or rear shock settings, maybe some weight jacking if possible, playing with tire pressure, etc. your MPH look good what stands out to me is your 60 foot times. I don't think NOS will help the launch but you would clearly add MPH.

See you in September Hardy Handshakes - Swede

How much does the front move upward(do you have good free front end travel)... also cheap
shocks dont work well with ladder bars.... what hole is the front of the ladder bar in

[LAGNAF]

Front end moves family freely. Seems to have descent transfer from what I've been told. Ladder bar hole is second from top of four holes..

What front shocks.. are they set loose.... with the 1.80 is it spinning
or is it the lack of low end power

[Paul Whalen]

how much tire spin? CC recently had a article about drag supension set up's Its in the may issues

That is the big question? Is it hooking with the current combination? What is the full motor, trans, converter and gear specs?

[Lilracr]

Just want to also say nice looking truck, and light weight for the size.

I should also say what is the in depth motor and converter details? You willing to do any motor work or change the converter?

Nitrous would be the quick answer. But I am an all motor guy myself.

Don't get that truck too fast! We are both going for the quick 32! ;)
