Off-season Goals/Plans

[Average_Ass_Lb7]

Well for 90% of us the season is over or has been over for 2019, unless you're lucky enough to live waaay down south where tracks are still open!

So whats everyone's agenda or to-do list this winter to have a fun and successful 2020??

Here's mine; 2002 GMC 2500 ECSB
Full gut
re-do cage (25.6)
fiberglass
front coils
rear coils
caltracs
new turbo kit
-Triples w/ TiAL Ex. Housings to run valley as a big single
Duraflite swap (48re)
Other miscellaneous stuff

Big changes coming from a truck I still commonly drove on the street (even if I shouldn't have lol)
Goal is to run 5.90 in ODSS next season, with ease, and try to represent for the V8 boys at UCC2020 as I was re-invited.

What's keep you busy this winter??

If you dont mind giving me a loan, I'd like a built shortblock for Christmas goal for this winter is to clean up all my wiring, redo my return and supply lines under the hood, switch to a lml front end. Nothing serious and none of it will probably get done until work slows down in March or April. I'm about to make my last payment on it also, then I won't feel as bad when it blows up!

Yall come help me get my LBZ and LML running again this winter. That's a goal! My cancer row behind the shop is getting a little carried away.

You got yourself in this mess and you'll get yourself out of it! Hahah

Goals for my built motor LLY are:
1) Get the hurt 5 speed back into ship-shape for the 2020 season
2) Get rid of as much weight under the truck as possible that is easy to remove
3) Mount fire extinguisher in the cab
4) Fabricate an air-to-water intercooler after the air-to-air intercooler (lowest priority)
5) Add a fuel cooler
6) Upgrade brakes
7) Upgrade steering

Goals for the daily driver/tow rig:
1) Get the bottom end back together (metal flake edition oil)
2) Upgrade oil cooling (2020 L5P cooler and Derale external)
3) Get the compounds on (S475/96/1.10 T6 over the stock IHI)
4) Instrument the truck to help future optimization/mods
5) Make traction bars

Im hoping to have the 1/2 ton running (at least) by June. We'll see....

 

[SickLL7Crenshaw]

Goals for this winter is daily the LB7 and not blow it up so I can continue beating up on cars in 2020 with an old ragged stock engine retired ranch truck

But seriously, I want to start getting this spare LB7 engine I have laying on the floor sent off to SoCal. Upgrade to 350% injectors, 14mm, and throw a couple chargers over this billet 75.

 

[Ne-max]

Doing some major changes to dip into 5s with a allison. . Me and Nate set a goal that we both do whatever it takes.

 

[lutzjk913]

Built trans in the lmm by spring but not sure it will happen at this point.

 

[1TRIKHD]

Probably throw some bigger injectors in it.

 

[M.A.M.]

Hope to have my compounds back in the truck by spring. Wanna get some Q1As on the rear axle, and need to talk with them to see if they can get me some coil overs made for the front.

LOL, already stretching myself thin on the budget as we speak. BUT doing the work yourself/with friends you trust is a HUGE money saver!

I'm so OCD about my drag truck I have a damn excel spread sheet for this :roflmao: (stuff to buy, take off the truck, etc etc.)

I'm a privateer, I don't build allison's so I have no desire to push the platform. Gonna try to dial a good duralflite and if the weight is right I think it can be good stuff

Nate went 6.00 in Indiana didn’t he? Not too far off I’d say :rofl:

 

[slowlml]

300% overs, lower it, put a new FI 76/93/1.10 on,
Buy another truck either another duramax or cummins to tow this one and dd instead of the navigator. Keep that one stock:spit:

I think everyone in this hobby is stretched thin lol. It's almost as bad as when I ran 10.50 index, nothing is 2 or 3 hundred everything it 2 or 3 thousand! I'm OCD myself the only other person i let work on my stuff is BigDipper.

Yeppers. He is right there. Just needs to get his crank and block ordered.

If I can get race weight to under 4500 I'm switching to a 4l80e late next season.

I do the same thing man! Makes marking things complete easy on a massive overhaul.

Yes sir

Everything I take off gets a roughly assumed used value, price out things I need to buy, and other stuff.
You never stay in budget, but it really helps with having an idea on where you’ll be at with the project money wise
