Theres too many to list, it really depends on how much you want to spend, obviously Precision Makes some nice units, but their very pricey. Danville seems to have some out in some good runners. Some people have had good luck with Engineered diesel.

2012??? I'd just wait and see what comes around the corner towards the end of 2011 before buying something for 2012. Shoot, the rules with BOB are liable to change between now and then. :thumb:

If you meant for 2011, the up-coming season, then Rob has you covered. I'd probably list them in the reverse order that he did for MY preference but all three of those offer viable options. :)

I've meant to PM/call you as to which of your singles are 2.6 . Hate to bother you though I'm a little ways off from buying.

If I had endless money I would just go on up to 3.0 make it more fun anyways then you wouldnt have to worry about stock drive train issues and strict 2.6 turbo rules

no doubt!! If money is "skies the limit", then by all means, get nutty with a 3.0 dmax. You'd be relatively new to the scene and it allows for quite a bit more creativity with things without pushing gray areas.

I've thought about trying it just to do it but I'd be even worse underpowered probably because I can't afford the build it'd take to be competitive. A moderate ODL truck can be built for similar money as building a strong 2.6 truck if starting from scratch like I am. Of course, like anything, you can get nutty with the top of the line ODL parts too.

If we had a 3.0 around here, i would probably think about it, but most of missouri/kansas is stuck on 2.6/2.8. Although i wouldnt want to have to pull with the ITPA very much, their 3.0 class is insane. If 3.0 ever got as competitive as 2.6 there would be just as much arguing/complaining.

Yeah, I definately would not want to run in ITPA 3.0 class!
