I don't agree with all the hatin' on NOS on a pulling track - and it's totally a technical perspective here.

Heck, a turbo does the same thing as NOS, adds air/increases density. Ask the NA gasser guys we pull against some times, and that's what they say. Turbo is a crutch compared to them!

If the NOS was everywhere, we would all learn to use it. The cost involved is minimal compared to some trick-chit turbo that people pay stupid money for, to, guess what, get more air in the cylinder.

I dunno, the anti-NOS sentiment in pulling seems to have come from a bunch of old geezers and somehow we all buy into it. Why?

I don't buy it. It makes no sense to me. All this stuff does the same thing. So who gives a crap one way or the other.

But if they started allowing Nitrous it wouldn't be who has it... It would be who doesn't have it. It would also get to be ridiculous the amount of nitrous people will start throwing at these trucks to beat the other guy. Also very few people no nothing about Nitrous or how to set it up.

Then you look at the sled pulling track and how many guys break stuff under thier own power now throw and 200hp shot of Nitrous on there and your asking for some parts to be thrown into the crowd. If Nitrous is allowed you better up the safety extremly.
 
I hear you, but seeing a couple guys Darwin their engines would probably wise people up real quick.
 
If you allow nitrous though, you might as well throw the turbo inducer limit for each class out the window. Thats all we have right now to seperate a 2.6 truck from a 3.0 truck. I have no problem having nitrous pulling a sled, but have an open class were almost anything goes.

100% true. Inducer limits all change.

On a positive note, a 3" charger might be all you ever need :hehe:
 
So Mat, if nitrous is allowed in pulling, exactly how do you propose to have class seperation? Beyond stock trucks (typically a 500-550rwhp class now) where I'd assume nitrous would NOT be allowed, how would you seperate out the trucks to appropriate classes? What would be the class limitations?
 
Eventually I would say there will be so many truck classes with varying rules that you would be able to run about anything at different events. Kinda like with all of the tractor classes there are now in the U.S.. Like say the Super Stock Tractor classes. Many orginizations have this class, but some rules are totally different than others.
 
i think it would be a great idea to have a class above the current mod class that is anything goes.... triple turbos... nitrous... 9" big turbo lol whatever

NADM has an outlaw class, any motor tripple turbo's etc...

[QUOTE Personally I think the main reason we will never see Banks at truck pulls is there is no world record to be had. [/QUOTE]

:clap: BINGO!
 
I don't think banks should get involved in sled pulling for a few reasons...

1. Gale will claim he invented sledpulling.
2. What real technology has banks blesses us with? They have had a total electronic VGT turbo controller on one of their trucks for a while and they will not sell it as a product. All their customers get is a red, overpriced, copy of something that someone else is selling, exhaust and tuners... If they are so innovative where are the innovative parts available for people to buy?
3. I guess I don't really have a number three.

Why is it the "old geezers" that don't want it? ( must be talking to you sleddy!) What are we buying into?(buying into it like all the goverment crap right now?)
Your not against it, so tell us who has been using in here in western pa. I am sure its around. cough cough. Do pullers need "nos" to keep up with the others? Come on Matt, let the cat out of the bag.

I have no idea really.

When we first started, there was one guy we were convinced was cheating, but just came to learn the hard way that he was just a lot better driver than me - and had tons of experience and track knowledge.

There was one guy we ran against all the time who flat out said that he had a nitrous spray bar in the head. On a different occasion, he told me that "everyone" ran water/meth, "just enough to get down the track." I think he was trying to sucker me into admitting something, but there was nothing to be admitted!

If I had half the knowledge then as I do now (and that's not exactly a boatload), I would have CRUSHED those guys. But I guess I be a little slow :hehe:

One odd thing that I have always been surprised by, NO ONE protests another truck, even though the procedure has always been in place.

I guess I'm not "for" nitrous, I just kinda wonder who made it so "evil" when we do 99 other things to achieve the same result. More air, more fuel.
