What do you think of these rules?

A duramax with any charger bigger than the stock one is on borrowed time without a built motor anyways. I still struggle to understand the point of creating your own set of rules instead of just adopting NADM's word for word, it allows your members to be competitive at the next level, I get what your going for but why make things more complicated than they have to be? But I am impressed by the change of your stance on engine conversions.

Your pump rules really open up a can of rules though and if your going to limit them the way you are, all loop holes should probably be eliminated and so on for instance "P-pump allowed only if that model year was a factory option" Does that go for truck or engine? What about those running 24v cylinder heads on 12v? How do you govern trucks with motor swaps? IMO all these rules are just setting up your 2.6 class up for failure, but on the hand, I hope you do suceed, since Badger wont step up and create a 2.6 class of there own.

What really has me thinking it the class entrance at TS. 120ish in the 2.6, 60 ish in the 2.8, 15 ish in the 3.0 and single digits in the mod. That tells me that the 2.6 is where all the trucks are.
 
We battled with the same thing you are doing. Keeping the super modded trucks out of the 2.6 class. Basicaly we wanted the guys that were wooping up at brush pulls to have a class to compete in. What we settled on was a 100mm exducer rule for 2.6. That keeps the gaint s400's with a modded cover in the 2.8 and bigger classes!

Im going to agree with this. If you have a 98 and older (P-pump) truck with a 24 valve head than you should out pull most trucks... Not all but should have an advantage. Those who have switched have a built motor.

NADM and NKTPA both have some good rules. I would use them and fine tune things if need to be. 2.6 is a street class and there are a few things I dont agree on but if you pull you must follow.$.02
 
I think what I are really looking for is Nadm work stock class, but I would like to see front hanging weights and fully blocked suspension. I also would like to let a guy buy an after market turbo if his takes a dump, if it is cheaper then buying a stock replacement. Do you think I can get to that or just take NADM Work stock rules. All I did was use the NADM workstock rules and used the 2.6 turbo rule, weight and rear suspension. Then I added little things that our local club has for rules like, must drive forward on and off the scales and the tire rules.

What is the tow rig prohibited rule really about? I can drive my puller anywhere i want but im not gonna drive 1-2-3-4 hours aways and pull with the possibility of breaking something very easily and not having a trailer in case the worst happens. There couldnt be anything better than breaking a u joint or axle or anything else that would stop you from driving and being several hours away with no trailer.

As stated above...The tow vehicle is for getting towed around in the pits. What trucks with filled blocks that don't have coolant have to do. It does not have anything to do with how you get your truck from home to the pull. You see have seen those trucks that makes a pass and then hook a Ranger up to it and Tow it off the tracks right? They also tow it across the scales and up to the staging lane. A Ranger or gater is a tow vehicle. You are more then welcome to "Trailer" the trucks to the pull, you just have to drive them on and off the track under their own power.
 
Lubeowner i never really payed attention to it like that, but now its clear.
 
to get street trucks, like an 04 four door dually you need at least 8500 , mine weighs 8650 stock
 
But a 12 valve engine with a 24 valve head is going to have a different valve cover. It will alter appearance, it will look like a p-pumped 24 valve. Rules say it must appear stock.

On the powerstroke Twin HPOP issues. I am a Ford guy, I hate to say this, but you can't make 400 rwhp with a single pump and a 2.6 turbo with a 7.3. I don't think if you can even make 500 rwhp with a 7.3 and dual pumps. QUOTE]

I assume your talking -with stock injectors ?

otherwise you need to do a bit of reading elswere :poke:
