Thanks Guys now i just need to get the clutch set right, tried to hook it thur night but the clutch engaged way to soon and couldn't get the turbo lit. I am sure it will be a while before we get it all set up right its all new to us. James i am not sure we will make it tonight need to get some of my paying jobs done today and the truck needs some work yet. Maybe we will be at Beaver Dam on sun. At times i wish i had never even started this project Hopefully someday it will all be worth the time and $$ spent on it. The other day i was looking for a gas can a lite i was so pissed off at this thing.
Looks good, Nobody is laughing. And your having a blast that's what counts.ws truck and tow rig,,, dont laugh,, it's not near as nice as the other pics in here lol.
i've ran and built 2.6 trucks and drag trucks before but really have way more fun pushing these stock chargers to the max. hoping to be pushing this untouched charger up in the 650+ range after winter.
My truck ran better then I'd hoped. Just need to get more weight on the front end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8bmHsciv390
that sounds awesome for sure...
Well after three pulls i got down the track, truck took a hard right so i got out of it at 303' the ''Grittn lit'' truck is a great runner he went 340 something. Here is a vid i am the first truck.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApRMzHnEvoE
Looked really strong. When you guys put your fuel tanks and lift pumps up front what do you do about a fuel cooler? I'm assuming you need something but not sure.
Looked like you had a heck of a run going!! Sounded phenomenal.
Why'd it pull right like that though??

Here's a video of my first hook at elore this weekend. Same event JD Dave posted his video from. I just built this new weight box and installed a set of RDL "spagetti" headers. Truck ran great other than lack of traction as usual... I think its time to bite the bullet and go duals. Not sure if I can afford it this year, we will see.

Here is one from the pull off. The mechanic forgot to tighten down the pipe for the hood stack in the mad rush to make the pull

Not sure Mitch driveline looked ok today. we will see what it does this wed night.
One of the aluminum tanks on the frt of my truck i have a coil for the fuel then we put ice into the can before we pull.
Jim, truck looked and sounded great! Nice to see it make a good pass and everything worked good! Dave, was that a wheelie! I think a looser convertor and you will be set and get some weight on the nose! Truck sounded and ran great so I am happy for both of you guys!:hug:
If you have hydraulic steering make sure the power is correct. Saw a truck hit a wall this year due to loss of power.
Congrats on the good run last night Jim!!:thumb: As far as I could tell he won just so everyone knows. Could not hear the announcer from where I was standing. I'm sure video will be up later today.
Thanks James my first BTPA win :woott:went 349" 27mph. Hoping someone has a vid i know Jamie didn't get one.
Going ~30 ft. won?
Just messin, congrats man! That's awesome!!!
