Looked like a good first hook for sure. Sounds awesome. Be nice to see it on a sled that let's you run with it versus that heavy pig! Smooth out of the hole. :thumb:

Here is the first pull of the new born hooker, she was only four hours old when she offered her first ride and took first place and she was 300 lbs light.

Looks like she's already been dialed in. Sweet pull especially since it was only put together a few hours before. :thumb:

Yes, we have only four trucks in the class and the dodge boys wanted 3.0 and i wanted 2.6 hoping not to loose anymore pullers.
Wow that vid was awesome:thumb:
you couldn't tell you you had all that speed in the first vid
For the first hook on a brand new truck with a manual trany that you have never hooked before, I don't think you could have done much better than you did! Congrats buddy you definitely deserved it after all of that hard work this winter. Thanks for letting me be part of it!:thumb:
There's supposed to be a whoop daddy nv4500 around here too but I've not seen the one I've heard about yet.
Good to know Tony has confidence in the ZF-6 with some extreme powa going thru it! Makes me feel better bout my chances with my lowly 2.6 truck build.
Whose clutch you running Tony?

South bend and i have an spare trans here.
There are cheaper options to profab on the fancy built nv4500 but even still, that cost goes a good ways towards basic ODL parts. You can def build a modest ODL for the cost of the special axles, trans/clutch, hubs, front end parts, lockers, gears, transfer costs, etc. I mean heck, an F106 & D60 can be bought as stock units all day for less than $1000 ea and they'll last a while a stock form unless you're making class-leading HP for the ODL class. If you buy used profab/SCS xcase & reverser it's a wash after selling your oem stuff. Clutchs are similar priced. The clutch can will be a little bit. But yeah, it ain't far off on cost of built OEM & entry level ODL. You can however get stupid expensive if buying new parts & built BIG axles if you just like spending the benji's like it's going outta style! There's options that'll lead to $5-10k in a front & rear EACH if you got the cabbage to spend.
Ok. Sorry for the rambling & [day] dreaming.
Tony, which version SBC do you have?

Nice hook Tony!
Is that a stock unaltered input shaft or something "special"?
Reason I ask is others have had issues with the stock one. You seem to be powering through the tires which I believe helps (actually less load on the shaft), but just wondering what (if anything) you did to address that "weak link".
