comming from a guy that run His truck at 67 lwb..first hotrod in 25 years..540 best ET is 9.95 @ 134.05

i deff expected a remark like that off a car forum..

the "road draft" tube is def something to be addressed. i can see where some oil could get on the track from that.

a mild tuning truck is doing ~500rwhp/1000rwtq

as for track prep.. has a big effect on how the trucks run.. i race my in hte sig. a poorly preped track i cannot do a boosted launch.. there is no traction what so ever. and 60' will be 2.3-2.5 and peddle it down the track..with time 14.7X @ 99mph a well preped track i can leve with 5psi boost and cut ~2.0 60' with treaded tires im same mph but almost a full second off the previous time... a well preped track you will bearly see those tracks reguardless of truck setup..

4x4 truck are easiy to launch and dont need much technec...

bracket race something liek that.. is not that bad.. even if he leaves first... the 90% smoke stays in lane the truck is in
