Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
that wouldn't work for me as I don't have coils. I have coilovers but I haven't tried stiffening the right shock but it might help a little.

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
it would take some trail and error but you might want to experiment with heavier spring on one side instead twisting up the shock on one side might as this might end up unbalancing the truck halfway down the track do to the thumb when it hits bottom
or mount shockwaves (pricey)

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
Hey DJ
Dont mean to change the subject but what RPM do you leave the line at? I know track conditions are an issue but was curious about how much your able to put down without getting scary. Thanks

Re: Its Mine the World Famous 67 Dragtruck
I have a pretty tight convertor so I don't have a huge window to work with. I have left from 3000 to 4000. 4000 is up againest the convertor. The truck actually like more power on the starting line. With the bigger slicks (33x10.5w's) it would take all I could throw at it. I left on 250 and 300 shots of spray. Tom actually left on 2 kits with a 31x10.5w.

That should be close. I hope the new motor is almost as fast as the old one without the bottle!
