Nice! Here's one my wife snapped of my tow rig.

Black looks real sexy but its too hot here for that!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

You got that right, they had a clearance sale, and it was the only one left, I was driving a white truck at the time.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

I prefer white but I didn't want a white trailer this time! I plan to paint the ford silver up to the upper body line!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

planning on custom dash. do you guys think i will have any problems with racing with a cluster set up like this. is the tach to low, i know most guys run theres on the top of the dash but would like to keep it clean. i probably will run the shift light up on the roll cage. if you guys have any suggestions let me know...

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

Why not put them in the stock location!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

I have some of my gauges mounted there. It is quite difficult to read them and drive. You have to look away..then focus on each gauge...then look up...then start over again. It really dosent matter where the tach is...as long as the shift light is in a good place.


On aside note...I stunk it up at the races today. First round runner up...had an .15 light.....gawd I hate to make a mental mistake.

Back in the Hotel room again after a LARGE race day, and the results are I gave up a time trial run for a bit of NOS. Ran a 10.95@121.86, bad news, a little too much brake at the finnish line made me loose out in third round eliminations. Video to follow when I get home. Track photographer missed it, we were the first pair down the track, but I was told that front tire was off the ground 3 inches, Ya! Baby!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

so

bigjimzIII

what gages do you think need to be at eye level.
its easier to make right, now then later.
i was thinking. fuel presure, oil presure,

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

It's not so much eye level as being able to just look down. The OEM guy's pretty much had it right. The 3 guages I look at most are Tranny temp, oil pressure and water temp.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

man now i am really in a fix.. i dont no were i want them. the reason i didnt want to put them in the orginal place. is cause of seat and wheel placement. here is a view with th smaller wheel held in place. reason for smaller wheel is to get in and out more easily. as you can see there wont be much to look at through the wheel. this is driving me :crazy:

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

after looking at mine...they are lower than where you want to put them....if mine were higher they would be OK.

BTW..after stinking it up yesterday at the track...I runnered up today. Breaking out by .007
Oh yea, I raised my ladder bars 1 hole and it lowered my 60 foot times by a full tenth....and lifted the front wheels on every pass

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

I didn't get to race this weekend but I did haul it close to the local cruise in and drive the truck over!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

sweet video! Make sure you turn in your tech card next time!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

It was first run of the day and tech cards were just coming in.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

I think we need a match race , big jim vs 71dragtruck . Do ya think Spokane is about half way . :lol: :lol:
I raced last nite , Spokane Pro Gas event , plus about 30 hot rodded Diesel pickups , way too many cars , didn't even race till 9:30 , took the win , although we both broke out , ran my best ever 60ft , 1.98 . :lol: Not exactly where y'all are at , but my best.
Have you guys seen those Diesels run ?? OMG . There nuts .
Still thinking about NOS , how consistent is it ??
Later .......................................... 409. :)

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

I think Jim needs to update his signature, pretty sure that's not his best anymore. I have alot of tuning to do yet, Want to run around the 10.6's. I wish I was closer though, would love to run with you guy's would make for a fun weekend of racing and bull$hitting that's for sure. Your getting faster all the time there 409, I also think it's time for you to strap on the bottle. :lol: ;)

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

I'm not running any N20 right now. Trying to win the points deal. As far as N20 being consistant? Well it can be. The guy's who bracket race with it usually only make one pass out of a full bottle.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

71 congrats on breaking into the 10's! I was just playin with ya about the tech card! I hope to get my 9inch convertor back this week but I'm suppossed to be out of town this weekend! I can't wait to try it out again on the spray!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

Ya I know, even funnier, there were only about 4 people in the stands also, by the next round when I was off the bottle, they were 3/4's full. I think it's your and Jim's turn for some video, a little less trailer and you could have hired a film crew.:lol:

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
 

Check out the drag video in the General Discussion forum . Holy cr%&. :crazy:

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
