Are you guys planning on moving the passenger rear shock to the other side of the axle?
 
How much weight savings was there by going to a fuel cell? I was thinking about doing the same, but not sure it would be very cost effective. At this point it's starting to cost me money to loose weight anyway. :doh:

Not really much weight savings to be done but it will definately help by running a cell for weight transfer etc. Looking good keep the updates coming.
 
What classes do you plan to run with this build? I think super street requires stock "location" but not necessarily stock tank.

If you're going to run prostreet, put that fuel cell wherever you want it!

Looks like you'll need at least a 130 lb driver and you're set for Super Street. That and the stock tank location.

Otherwise you're all set for Pro-Street or Super Diesel.

I don't think this truck will see any NHRDA events. They're all >400mi away from us (excluding Indy) and the payouts don't even support the fuel money to get to the events.
 
Yes, planning on TS, we were hoping to Dyno tomorrow but a few big parts haven't showed yet.

Lavon
 
Good deal good luck on the dyno hopefully parts will show. Happy to see another strict vp drag truck. We are making the trip out this year as well look forward to seeing the truck and meeting you guys.
 
Heck, I don't know. Ask Brandon or Lavon. It was somewhere reputable in the Columbus area because we didn't want to jump on a mustang and claim 1,000.

Chase I was talking to Lavon last night when I picked up some parts, let me know when you guys go to dyno, if there's an extra hour or so I'll rent it and come up with you guys.
