i've seen on a couple of ocasions they used an helper airbag inside the coil to counter that

djracer · 01-19-2009, 02:44 PM

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.

watahyahknow · 01-19-2009, 07:43 PM

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)

kwhite4 · 01-21-2009, 11:34 AM

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

djracer · 01-21-2009, 12:59 PM

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.

djracer · 05-23-2009, 03:25 PM

I hope to have the new motor done in a couple or three weeks. Cross your fingers for me.

5.7L JWL · 05-23-2009, 07:17 PM

Hope to see you up and runnin' soon. Sorry to hear about the Carnage.

Kevin thanks for the pron shots, clean block, now we need to see it run faster, 8's would be awesome time.

, take your time putting it back together and watch it start up by it self,,lol lol . started up my ole/ new truck, sounds real cool for an ole fart like me, it's what I've been wanting to hear for the last year and a half. all the Chevy sounds came out of the tail pipes.

I'm a happy trucker now . going to post some pics soon. got me a new camera, now i need to read the destruction's and figure how to push the button? lol

djracer · 06-03-2009, 01:41 PM

8's should be a breeze! I hope it gets real close off the bottle.

jgh64pkup · 06-08-2009, 11:30 AM

djracer · 06-08-2009, 01:07 PM

jgh64pkup · 06-08-2009, 02:15 PM
