i have been to nhra and ihra drags for years and have seen heads go flying when they try to shut the car down and have built street and strip cars and wish it wasn't so expensive to run ever weekend

spicergear not to call you out but here is the actual sight were that came from Tech Talk - Modern Nitro Car Facts and here is some other ones i found and some that are the same --------- * One dragster's 500-inch Hemi makes more horsepower then the first 8 rows at Daytona. * Under...

wreckerman i got to find a pic of the girl that i raced against one time patracy we were just talking about if the trans would hold up to the shock load of the duece and if it would hold up for more then five minutes and i would live to see something like a hi/lo rear-end that...

tanner most nitro(top fuel dragsters) run in the 3 to 4 sec quarters if they stay at a constant rpm lets say 9500rpm /60 sec = 185 revolutions per sec now multiply that time 4 sec =633 revolutions if they stay at 9500 and run for the slowest speed

i like that story its all true and very funny when thinking about it but i know the fan on 18 wheelers pulls 60+ hp

i don't deal much with nitro cars so i couldn't tell you i do run power-glides and muncie 4 speeds though and i dont know why you wouldnt do a burn out cause you heat your tires up to get more traction and to soften them up so that they spread out for more traction

people would be even more lost while trying to dive one [thumbzup] just imagine a parachute release lever or a front independent brake system plus i dont think i would want to be in the same town when you start that burnout rofl

yea you would have to stay in low and i think you would have to upgrade everything else if you did that too but not a bad idea for a late night discussion

woops lied to you its 1.76 and 1.82 at trans thats for powerglide and 3.31 and higher gears in the rear end

o yea there strong enough there are some guys running 700 hp in dodges with the stock trans cryoed and shift kits and 3500 to 4000 stall torque converters just think of your duece trying to take off in about forth gear all the time cause most race cars/drag trans are 1.81 or...

torque converter wouldnt really be the problem the really high gear ratio would probably be something that you would have to look at first

yea i got one on an old chevy and i only wish i would have bought another when i had the chance

8000 pound warn clicker its the working horse of all winches it might be slow but under full load they never stop pullin warn 8274 is the actual numbers on them

the pumps do take a little mechanical skill to replace but it can be done by just about anyone price of pump = my local shop can do it from 400 to 600 for just the labor now for finding a pumpthat might be difficult unless there is a scrap yard that buys military trucks close by

just fallow the hose from the switch that's the easiest way i had the same problem and mine turned out to be the wiper control also get you a spray bottle with water and dish soap and spray every fitting that connects and see where your leak is best way i have...

another one to check is the wiper control knob

and have you ever thought about about a cat 3406 is a good one or if you do want computer and have money i would love to see one with a c15 in it
