Actually after the Hot Rod drags this last year Steve wrecked his car at a track. The conditions were just right, he was hooking really well so he just kept uping the preasure on his bottle. He got mid way down the track and broke his rear axles. The drivetrain place couldnt believe it becasue they were suppose to be some of the strongest on the market (Ill get details on what size they were). He had to have his rear 1/4 panel replaced. He got lucky though. By buddys car is actually going to be faster than Steves car his coming year, but he doesnt want all the publicity.

i dont think i will have the cash for the DR's by then and dr's are likly to put me over the edge and start breaking parts . i have a few plans though.
speed based boost
caltracs
free up some exhaust back presure
roll bar and all safety equipment required
and if they accept me i will need a fuel cell since the twin pump set up doesn't work well on low fuel situations. . last year it was 15 gallons and i would have been fine but at 12 gallons i am not so sure, i would hate to suck air at wot. maybe some type of acumilator would be the way to go.

how do you plan on running the exhaust if you get accepted. "Required street-legal equipment: working headlights, taillights, brake lights, turn signals, and horn. Safety-glass windshield. Mufflers required; exhaust system must extend to within no greater than 6 inches in front of the leading edge of the rear tires. All exhaust gases released from the engine must pass through mufflers at all times. Cars may not be uncorked in any way during competition. " wont running mufflers hurt you pretty bad? on a side note, i think youd have a blast doing it, and you would gain the truck community some deserving respect. and i dont think a 10 gallon cell will be bad, fuel slosh is controlled in those things. if thats what you meant.

the new down pipe is going to have a 3.5" vband clamp instead of a 3 bolt flange. i am just going to run off of that with 3.5" tubing all the way to the rear and use some kind of super free flowing muffler like an ultra flow or sam sugested a burns muffler but there isn't much to one of those. if it is way too loud and it may be i will put in another v band clamp near the muffler and have an entire muffler that i can swap out fast and easy. not as cool as a cut out but god i hate exhaust leaks. my truck sounds way better with the cut out open than with it 95% closed.

does the article say he actualy runs 10's or he should run 10's?
i have a couple of places to set me up with a roll bar, it is just a matter of doing it and paying for it. some pic's of that set up would be cool.
