I think it needs a rusty sorta jagged hood stack to go with the look!

Oh, I forgot one very important picture last night. I also took a picture of the van so you can all see what I've got to work with. Pictures don't do it justice. It's rough...

You won't be fender racing or winning by a fender

I've got something planned to top it off in style.

Fender or better yet roof stack. Just wrap the shit out of it and mount some coffee cup holders to it in the cab for those early morning jobs. :roflmao:

Hilarious and awesome all at once.
"Look at that ratty ass van....with a hood stack.. that just laid rubber and disappeared in a plume of smoke?"
People will need counseling after seeing this van Josh :thumb:

 

[lotsofmiles]

fwiw, mine was 6050 lbs at the track.

Me in it - 180
removed - pass seat, spare tire
empty inside
under 1/4 tank of fuel

Standard length wheel base, not the extended van
But I had both fenders and a front bumper

Does the NHRDA 11.90 class allow hood stacks? I know they don't in the Super Street class

I'll give you $10 to spray paint the "Free Candy" on the sides of it and mount a 2x8 board on the front for a bumper :rofl:

Yeah, I weighed it before we started stripping stuff off, and it was 6400 lbs with me in it. It was a little heavier than I thought it would be, but there's a pretty good bit of weight to remove. I may have to go on a diet too.

There's no rule against it.

» Heads-Up class with an 11.90 index, 4/10ths Pro Tree, Pro Ladder by ET, Auto Start on
» No weight limitations, tire limitations, or wheelbase limitations
» Must meet NHRA and/or IHRA tech and safety requirements for MPH and ET
» Must meet NHRA and/or IHRA licensing requirements for MPH and ET

I'll consider the spray paint, but I'm gonna have to say no to the 2x8 bumper. Maybe I'll spray paint puppies and free candy. :thumb:

Cool, can't wait to see it in action this weekend.

 

[07bluelbz]

That is awesome Josh. How hard was it tuning the shift points in the 4l80 compared to the allison?

 

[cwmeaux1]

That looks like a fun project there
