I bet you are stuck with 16s on that rear brake setup too arent you?
That thing launches hard. What are you guys going to do for a built 5R110?

For the trans that is up in the air at this point.

Too bad you can't go to 15s for the tire selection. Although it doesnt look like you guys are having the tires 'paw' as much as I have been having.
I know my truck (f250) wont fit 16s "normally"... I would think the brakes are very key to helping that truck launch.

I think the 16" tires I have are the ticket now. Would've been way cheaper with 15's for sure.
If I would have had just another day out of the trans, I think the 1.40 would have happened. I was still a bit gun-shy on the launch, being the week before it twisted off a yoke on the line.
Spring can't come soon enough.

What DS are you running? The shaft has a 4 bolt flange on the front and rear doesnt it? With the slip yoke in the middle of the shaft?

How do you build boost at the line? I started experimenting with a two step last year, and that's obviously not an option for you and the timing controls I'm adding for this year aren't either. I wouldn't think there's a 'brake available for your transmission either (I'm leaving off a foot brake with a big 3000 rpm stall converter).
Hope you come to the WFC! "Snow White" needs a little competition.

I've only left on about 18-20 lbs. so far. The brakes will hold maybe 30 lbs., so it's got more left. Need to change the exhaust so the starting beams don't get fouled by the smoke. But I'm not into "stacks"......

Where did you get the CM shaft from? I have a 4" aluminum shaft but I'm somewhat concerned with it.
Cant wait to check out the truck at WFC! I Love some fast oil burners!
