Off Season Sled Pulling Mods

[Yellow Jacket]

Unlocking in certain situations will get you on down, i think it this vid, if i would have pulled it down into 3rd, or unlocked earlier i would have gained atleast 10 feet, but i tried to lug it. This is with gears, so you could imagine where a truck with stock gears would have fallen off.

What RPM would your truck fall off, or "choke" like in the video... With the ODL truck this year, it would get down to 2850-3000 rpm and still not fall under that GT45 with a 1.28 housing, but that is about where it would break the tires back loose and jump to 3200-3500...

We were hitting anywhere from 3900-4300 depending on what gears we had in it... Seemed like the higher the gear and the harder we worked it, the better it pulled, but we needed more cam and more fuel in the higher r's...

I'm really worried about my transfercase for next year since hopefully I'll be in around the 1000hp mark. Is there a company that would make me a beefed up TC. The LMM's have a different case then the older trucks and they don't seem to stand up as well for some reason.

We are having one built by Conrad customs. Unfortunately the 2.6 class will not allow our batteries or fuel cell up front.

Would be nice to have the fuel cell and the Airdog right up front. We are moving our battery because it will be in the way of our intake on the drivers side.

Ed, is that who did evan's & several of the mod trucks? I thought Burton chassis did but those look alike.

PM me what they cost if you don't mind plz.

Is it just your org that doesnt allow it? It doesnt say anything about it in TS unless is missed it.

On Edit im talking about the fuel cells, i know we cant batterys.

I could lug my gtx45 down to 2500-2800.
