Re: Drag Racing Suspension

Drag truck is an oxymoron. I love trucks and I love drag racing I used to have a lot of it. I am about to advise you for something I didn't listen to, start out with something a little lighter and more likely to transfer better. I had a Chevelle that only made street duty for a very short time. The police would follow me through town every time I started the car, they loved my first "street car converter" it was a 4500 with a stout big block and a glide. BUT the car was #3760 with me in it. If it had been #2900 it would have been stupid fast instead of crazy fast. It would hook your truck well it will take lots of work to get in the 1.28 short time[see I mean that car would hook]with a truck and mega dollars. Use that money to get something lighter and more likely to hook easier and you will be happier and money
ahead.

Now don't get me wrong you can make it hook and have a big old drag truck but the money it would take to go say11.50 you could put in something lighter and be at 10.00
For every one hundred pounds is a tenth of a second. point blank flat truth. Good luck. Enjoy. Jim
