Don't think you are trying to Hijack I revived the tread just to keep it going feel free to ask all the questions you want! If you have forged pistons I'd add the msd and the nos! The glass doors I have are way lighter than aftermarket steel! I can easily pick up a door with one hand! |
Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
I don't really know what pistons i have , i've never had the heads off . I would guess there the stockers , everything else was . I need to get this big fella to 13.99 , so i can race bracket 4 . Lots of cars in bracket 4 , only about 7 or so in bracket 5 . I'd rather not get too deep into the motor at this time , better in the fall / winter.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
You would probably be fine as long as you don't detinate it! I'd start with the msd!

I'd like to see more pics of how your bed is attached and interested in what you run for a cover if any! |
Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Yes all questions are welcome here, it's the new drag truck discussion thread. 409, a little trip to Canada you could pick up my old motor, it ran 12's;). For sure drop in that MSD stuff, must need with the NOS.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Thanks for the info Jim! 409, I know that if you're careful with your tuneup, a stock shortblock will take 125-150 hp hit of spray. Like I said, though, you really need to look at all of your plugs and make sure that it's not detonating. Go 1 step colder on your plugs and follow the nitrous company's advice on recommended fuel pressure. Also, take out 4* timing for every 100 hp added. This will get you close. BTW, the MSD will definitely make life easier when adding the spray.

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Just got off the phone with Marty Chance of Neil Chance racing convertors I will be sending off my 9 convertor in the next day or two to get it checked out and tightened up!
Hope that will help my times on the spray! It may hurt off the bottle but you got to give a little to get a little! |
Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Yup thats my complete bed. It mounts with 2 studs to the cab..2 mounts in the back and 2 out riggers by the wheel well. I have an aluminum bed cover made from 3 pieces of .030 aluminum. Mounted to 1x1 square aluminum tube. With the back panel piano hinged.
The truck is at the painters right now...when I go over I will take some shots of the bed mounting and cover..b4 and after install. 409...a 75 shot will sure wake that puppy up...yeeehaw |
Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
dont know how many people do this or maybe its been talked about earlier.. but there was a truck that had a custom rear bumber made from rectangular tube and the guy put a little hole in the top to fill it with a 100 pounds of lead said it helped with traction greatly..:blah:

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
Thanks for the pics in advance BigJim!

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
If these trucks are setup right they hook pretty well with out adding weight! The rule of thumb is every 100 pounds is a tenth of a second! I need to eat less cheese burgers!

I will get some pics soon. My fuel cell has a leak so I pulled it and I have just a few more things to get on it. I need to cut and buff it again as the last guy did not do a good job at all. 71Dragtruck, I have the slicks sitting here ready to throw on it. I will be out there soon. We are shooting for the dyno at the end of next week as well. We are hoping for high 10's low 11's. I need to hit the 10's so I can get my new personal plate 10SEC71. |

Well if you don't get in the 10's I might have to use your plate idea for mine.:lol: Just kidding, hope you make it, and in one piece. I would like DRAGTRUCK but too many letters maybe DRGTRK, DRAGTRK, DRGTRUK, just don't look right. Maybe DAMFAST;), or an idea from 20 years ago WICKED:buh: |
Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph

Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
I think I like them both DAMFAST and THISIDEUP.:lol:
409(Doug) The headers and new exhaust will be your answer. lol:lol: Just kidding. I think the 150 shot on yours and it would be the ultimate sleeper. It looked like you had some good lights a few weeks ago when I was out there. |
Re: Ran 11.44 @117.69mph
What are you guy's running for race seats? djracer I see you have Kirkey seats in yours, what size are they and how do they fit? I'm a larger guy, 6' 1" around 250lbs. farm boy build :lol: I ordered in a set of cheap seats but they are fairly small in the seat part, not too bad on the back little tight in the ribs. Likely ok for a 1/4 mile and a bit of cruising, but still thinking of the Kirkey seats. The place I get stuff from has 17" in stock, had one 18" but gone now, need to decide by tomorrow night if the ones I got are going back or not. Leaving Fri evening to get my roll bar in, I guess what I need to know is how do the Kirkey seats fit.:confused: Looked at the measurements on thier web site, but also thought the ones I got would be fine from the measurements. Don't really want the RCI type plastic ones, They ones I got are a sports car type, not too bad for weight, but for sure heavier than full race seats.
