Any Idea what the truck weighs? I've been thinking about ditching the sump and stock tank. Considering I can sell both for about what a cell costs. Does your fuel level gauge still work or does your cell not have a sender?

Who's truck? Cells are cheap IMO I made mine from aluminum but you can get them from Summit for cheap.

As far as the tank gauge, I bought a fuel level sending unit from Autometer that was the same voltage and parameters as OEM. And was just going to recalibrate the fuel level with EFI. I never bothered rigging it up though.

I'm curious, hauling all day I want weight on drive axle. Doesn't losing rear weight make the tires spin easier?

Not launching in four wheel. A well setup will transfer enough weight to plant the tires with out lifting the front wheels. Also the same reason why the tanks: fuel, nitrous, over fill, are all mounted far back.
Now driving on the street when its rainy lol

Nope, Its raw horsepower that makes ya tires spin :D


The fuel tank sits on the same side as the driver, I prefer to have the weight equal all the way around the truck as much as possible, if you catch what im saying

Lose bed weight like I do and lose your flare off the bed somewhere between your first and second run. Now I got a big rust oval showing lol.

Just wondering, you guys are most likely running hood stacks right? Now Ive got to figure out how to mount the stack.

I have a dump right behind the driver tire that goes through the wheel well. I was gonna do a hood stack and delete my filter head and brace it to the engine there.

I dont want to chop up my hood. And local track requires a "90% Turn Up." I had a dump on my white truck. Best looking and sounding setup ever!

Mine kicks out, my track doesn't care I just did it so I wouldn't get any messed up slips from smoking out the lights.
