I'm making over 500 to the tires w/ a 4/6 DJM drop, so the frame has their bolt in notch. I've cut a best short time of 1.73 on 275/55-16" drag radials w/ it lowered and Cal Tracs, so it's possible to still get a lowered truck to hook. I don't know if it would hook even better at stock height, but it might since you'd get better weight transfer.

How far out can you spray it and still cut a 1.7-1.8 short time? I'm not hitting it dead off the line, but I'm not exactly hitting it in 2nd gear either.

Yea, I would never try to spray out of the hole...this is an untested combo. I had traction issues befor the n20. I will be using a button to start with spraying 10 to 20 ft out.
