Because you're not hanging in there with respected 4wd trucks yet.

You get a top-10 in Numidia against good competition and I'll start eating crow. Since they have a stock turbo class and you already have a built motor, you shouldn't have any excuses other than driver screwup. I'll give you a mulligan on that but if you want to demonstrate being competitive, ya gotta show something there.

And don't jerk the sled like you did last night. That was a bust-parts move, rookie!
 
No need for yabuts or excuses. Just need a little time and money (which is running scarce) to get some bugs worked out. The trucks Lynn has been pulling against are respected trucks. Some were finishing in the top 10 at Scheids last year. Rods, and Teddybear are 2 that I know of.

You're way off on your math since I bought everything right.

Funny, it still runs great, and I did a hell of a lot of winning with the combo (something you have yet to experience). I'm just picking a smart time to take a break and re-tool. Was I taking a risk? Sure. So what. You're taking a giant risk with the way you're running your tranny. You smoke the C1s in that thing in one hook and you'll be begging to even get home. So we're pretty even there...your roof has no walls either.

I could still come out tomorrow and put a whooping on you, but all we'd hear is a list of yabbuts.

So go do something notable at Numidia and start earning respect instead of trying to convince people by endlessly talking about it.

Yes, Adam blew through a piston, but it was an LLY, so no surprise there.

You should take a cue from Kino. No BS, just (to paraphrase) "we're working on it and we'll pull with the big boys and see what we can do." I respect that. Best of luck to them.

none talken..

mat has been ribbing me for 2+ years now about the whole 2wd pulling idea :hehe:
so far i have been out classed and out powered no worries... im learning ;)

it will be nice to see what i can do come saturday with like powered trucks :st:
 
I know its prolly a lot more money,but you need to build a two wheel peel with a mod engine,cause its not gona be worth the effort till you do,and then the truck will talk,an they will prolly get you a class,but till then its like pee'n in the wind,

dont think a 500hp 2wd can compete with a 500hp 4wd with the current NADM rule setup?

why is that?
 
an remember,,Its the set up,and yes four wheels will do better,so if you want to try a two wheel peel,you gota have twice the horsepower,so build it ,an i would throw some big tires on too while your at it

Not to be an ass or anything, but it has been proven many times around here (in the naturally aspirated gasser classes) that a 2wd can out pull a 4wd. I wish I could find the video from a few years back. We were at a pull with a "run whatcha brung" class. 4 5800lb 2wds, and 5 6200lb 4wds in the class, along with the locals bringing out thier daily drivers aswell. All the true pullers had DOT tires and around 7-800hp on racing gas. 1st and 2nd were 2wd's, 3rd was a 4wd, can't remember the rest. This same occurance has happened quite a few times in years past. I know by watching the video's of Lynn's truck seems that he needs double the HP as the 4wds to compete, but his truck is probably barely making 400hp if not less (way over fueled). Once we get it in the 550-600hp range, it should be game on from there.
