New mods for this year drag racing?

[paint94979]

Well I'm doing Trent's from EPR Triple turbo kit, Stage 2 Trans, Carrillo Rods, LB7 high temp coated pistons, ported heads, up pipes and manifolds. head studs. 20" BMF Wheels with Nitto Trail Grapplers,QA1 Shocks, kryptonite tie rods, Cognitios, 45% Injectors and CP3 regulator. I think that's all for me. :woott:

i'd go atleast 60 over injectors IMHO

Why 60? I still want drivability and somewhat decent miliage.

good injectors not just tips and good tuning 60's will run like stock... from what all of the experts tell me

Well that's good to know. I'll look into it.

Yes I said screw it and just build it. Now I don't have to worry about it.

carrillo rods, de-lipped/coated stock pistons, mainstuds/headstuds, dual cp3's, and 45 overs (and no nick i aint doin 60 overs ), and the normal engine rebuild stuff.

i love the thought of a deep 12 second dmax on 37s and 7800 lbs :woott:

Welding on the traction bars, hooking up the N2O bottles, and hopefully getting my headliner put back into the truck. It has been sitting here in its new suede for months now!

The dual CP3's will take you into the 11s even if you were on 40s james.

New rear loop done. Thank you Michael Tomac for the idea. Simple, light and should be effective.
Just have to finish engineer the front loop and drill some holes and that will be done.

 

[paint94979]

Does your track enforce wearing loops?

 

[JD4440]

Yea, front loop is throwing me off

I figure its a safety thing, Nick. We really should be running them, even with street tires -- esp at low 12/high 11 ETs. Stanton hasnt asked me yet, but I want to be prepared just in case.

Chris, Im going to use a 1/2"x2" solid bar running from the crossmember under the U-joint to the trans crossmember at an angle (dang hump on tranny crossmember right under the Ujoint facilitated that). A two-piece rectangle will surround the driveshaft, bolted to the angled bar. Reason for two-piece is so I can install/remove it without removing driveshaft. It should also still give me room to get oil filter out. I'll post a pic when I get it done.

 

[TheBac]

Finished the front loop today. Here's a couple better pics.

Just have to put the fuel pump back in, figure out how to properly set the wastegate and have my Caltracs shortened an inch, then I should be ready to go.
